How do you become an NFL player?

Go through college and make the NFL draft Yeah, but that is kind of general. You need to make a good name for yourself in high school, get scouted and get a scholarship to a good football college. From there, go a couple of years, and maybe you can get scouted and make the NFL draft before 4 years. If you are good enough to get a scholarship for football in high school, you should improve enough to get drafted to the NFL in 4 years.
