Bruno - at a minimum you will need to play high school football and hope you get picked up by a college team and then get noticed by the NFL draft.
Not to discourage your but only a select few make it to the NFL. Here are the statistics about making it to the NFL. Taken from the following website. https://u.osu.edu/groupbetaengr2367/junran-add-things-here-for-real/#:~:text=Roughly%20speaking%2C%20there%20were%201%2C083%2C308,going%20pro%20is%20approximately%200.023%25.
The odds of getting into the NFL:
Roughly speaking, there were 1,083,308 high school football players competing, and eventually 251 made it to pro. After simple calculation, we can get that the percentage of student-athletes going pro is approximately 0.023%.
You will have a much better chance of getting to the pros, if you look at baseball as a career. They have the "farm" teams, i.e A League, AA League, AAA Leagues and finally the Majors. The farm teams are where you can start building your skills as a ball player.
In comparison for football, Junior High School is the A League, High School is the AA League, College is the AAA League, then the pros if you get drafted.
