How do you get into the NFL as a professional athlete?

Here's what I have heard so far: At the end of your Junior year of college, every player is offered a chance to leave college and sign up for the pro-draft. If you accept, your college career is over, and you may be drafted to an NFL team. If you decline, you can try again after your Senior year. Don't lose hope if you're not drafted.

What else might be important to consider?

Remember NFL stands for "Not For Long" always have a back-up plan and get that degree! The biggest thing you can control is how you perform on the field and getting great video footage + stats that your coaching staff can help share with scouts. All of the small things add up, have great attention to detail in all that you do, and stay focused in school + keeping the grades up!

Make sure you stay healthy and do all of your injury prevention + rehab work!
