Haha, back to back wrong answers. You can be called for grounding even if you're not in danger of being sacked

Outside the tackles AND the ball must go beyond LOS are the college rules. Same in NFL?

No, you are mistaken.
Official Rules of the NFL, Rule 8-3-1
Article 1 Definition
It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
