It would be interesting to see how those percentages line up against other sports. For instance...is the average high school swimmer more likely to make the olympics than the average high school football player is to make the NFL?
Kind of apples to oranges. Practically everyone in the NFL played in high school or prep, but swimming is highly club oriented. You have a lot of people who don't swim high school. Could be tricky to get the right numbers together. Safe to say, they're both exclusive. The internet says there are 1.1 or 1.2 million hs football players. With 1,696 NFL'ers, that's around 0.15%. If you include everyone that plays youth football, I bet you'll get to a number similar to Ande's 0.02% (or lower).
