there are some differences in the rules. like in college, they dont have the 2 minute warning, they stop the clock when you get the first down in the last 2 minutes and start the clock again when the chains are reset. incollegeyou only need 1 foot down for a catch opposed to 2 in the nfl.

in the nfl, you have the best of the best at each position. each player in the nfl had to be good incollegeto make it to the nfl. in college, you just have HS kids. mostcollegekids dont even make it to the nfl. so you now know why they call it the pros, not just anyone can make it, you have to be great incollegeto do so. and since the talent and football IQ is so much greater in the NFL, they come up with exotic defenses and blitz so it would be hard for a young rookie QB to read them. peyton manning wasnt that great when he was a rookie but as he got more experience, the better he became.
Millions of dollars $$$$$$$$
on top of that, the generalization is thatcollegeplayers are more successful due to their athletic talent and the system in which they play.

contrastingly, the nfl is full of these high caliber players with awesome talent, with few even more freakish than others in speed, athleticism, talent. however, in the nfl, you have to play smart, too, and not simply rely on your athleticsm. that's why you don' t see as high a frequency of high scoring offenses in the nfl as opposed to in ncaa.

manycollegeplayers who have successful careers incollegefail to continue pushing themselves and developing into more complete players (best example: ryan leaf, tim couch) and they fail in the nfl ranks. look at peyton manning, he wasn' the best in college, but his work ethic has propelled him into elite status.
difference is how they get paid. NFL players get paychecks that get taxed. NCAA players get paid in cash.
in collge you don't have to be touched to be down. In the nfl you must be down by contact

in nfl you need BOTH feet in to catch a pass incollegeit's just one
Talent!!!
The game is essentially the same. There are some minor differences in the rules, like incollegefootball you only need 1 foot inbounds to make a catch, in the NFL you both feet in. Incollegefootball the clock stops while the markers move when a team gets first down. There are just some small rule differences like that... nothing big.

The biggest difference is strategy, b/c the players are all bigger, faster, and stronger.

For example, incollegefootball there has been a recent trade towards more mobile QBs running the ball a lot more. But the NFL has not, and probably will not, move in that direction to the same extent because of the fast and strong defensive players that could injure a QB.

So, the difference is mainly based on the difference in quality of players (mainly the defensive players), which is why some offensive players incollegefootball suffer when they get to face the defenses of NFL teams.

Hardly ever does a defensivecollegestar struggle in the NFL... think about it.
