What is a "pro style"offense?

The NFL has become a lot more wide open. Shotgun. Read option. Running backs seldom rush for 1200 yds anymore. Pro style is not what it was 20 years ago.

A pro-style offense in American football is any offensive scheme that resembles those predominantly used at the professional level of play in the National Football League (NFL), in contrast to those typically used at the collegiate or high school level. Pro-style offenses are fairly common at top-quality colleges but much less used at the high school level. The term should not be confused with a pro set, which is a specific formation that is used by some offenses at the professional level.
Generally, pro-style offenses are more complex than typical college or high school offenses. They are balanced, requiring offensive lines that are adept at both pass and run blocking, quarterbacks (QBs) with good decision-making abilities, and running backs (RBs) who are capable of running between the tackles. Offenses that fall under the pro-style category include the West Coast offense, the Air Coryell offense, and the Erhardt-Perkins offensive system.
Often, pro style offenses use certain formations much more commonly than the air raid, run and shoot, flexbone, spread, pistol, or option offenses. Pro-style offenses typically use the fullback (FB) and TEs much more commonly than offenses used at the collegiate or high school levels.

An offense that doesn't put 7 people in motion at the same time only to run a simple off tackle play.

that was a good description 10 years ago. Not so much any more.

anything that is run in the nfl is a pro style offense.
I think people often forget that anything generates revenue or you get paid for it, it falls into the category of professional.

College always pioneers the way.
NFL is just a copy cat league.
But my answer would be that QBs are generally asked to do way more in ways of reads and rknowinf WR route trees.
Often spread offenses cut the field in half and run plays designed to get 1 guy the ball in space.

usually Ace or I-form, lots of snaps under center, run-based to set up play action
where you snap, how your OL blocks, how many WRs you use, and if you use option in the run game determines these differences
the NFL doesn't use as much pro style as they used to. they've incorporated a lot more spread looks/philosophies...even some spread option
