Odds Are Slim On Being Drafted

NFL Draft prospects eat, sleep, and breathe their work ethic. For every decision that players make their is a consequence, details are crucial in this business.

What the players do in the dark will eventually come to light, on Draft day or in the near future. Four year college studs can turn into complacent busts in the NFL. But, the player must first be drafted.

This is a tough task in itself. The odds of a college football player being drafted into the NFL is as good of odds as a man being electrocuted by a technology gadget. The odds are very unlikely. There are 119 teams in Division One Football, yet the NFL also plucks players from the D-1AA, D2, and D3 leagues.

The combined amount of teams in college football is 645. An average of 55 players on each team results in 35,475 students competing in collegiate football. The NFL consistently drafts 224 players who participated in college football the previous year.

This leads to the fact that nearly .006 percent of students are being drafted into the NFL and others are going professional in something rather than football.

It is more likely that a man gets shocked to death by his cell phone than a collegiate football player being drafted into the NFL.

Players compete for each position in the NFL because if an athlete can’t satisfy the positions duties someone else is waiting to take the job from them.
