According to stats from the NFHS, NCAA, and NFLPA:

- About 1% of HS seniors who play football will play football in an NCAA Division 1, 2, or 3 school.

- About 1% of NCAA Divison 1, 2, or 3 players will ever make an NFL roster.

Therefore, only about 1 in 1000 HS seniors who play football will ever make an NFL team.
