The NFL age restriction on college players says that anyone who has been out of high school for three years can enter the draft, whether those three years have been spent in college or not. The reason for this restriction is two-fold. First, it helps with continuity in College Football. Second, the NFL feels it helps young athletes mature physically before coming into the NFL.

Well a person usually stay in college three to four years if they plan to enter the nfl draft. But those that are really good stay just for three. So the answer to your question would be three.

It doesn't matter how many years you're in college, it just depends on how good you are! People have come straight out of high school and played professional football!
