The only sport(s) I could see this even being a remote possibility is baseball/basketball.

There is no way that the best HS football player could go straight from HS to the Pros and not get quite literally killed.

and if they did, more than likely their first couple of years would be a wash, and be wasted money for the NFL teams.

Think how many bust there are from HS to CFB, then think of how many bust there are from CFB to NFL. Going from HS to NFL would be a nightmare scenario

lol Adrian Peterson a guy who's college peak was as a true freshman couldn't have played in the NFL?
Devin Hester the greatest return man in the history of NFL couldn't have returned kicks in the NFL out of HS? He was a natural from day one.

Orlando Pace, Charles Woodson, Herschel Walker, Randy Moss etc

Heck guys like Lavar Arrington who was washed up by 26 would of benefited hugely from going straight to the league. He was clearly a much better player 19 years old than he was at 28. Not everybody is going to peak at the same age
