Could someone tell me the number of NFL players retire each year?
922277
it ranges lol theres no guarenteed number every year. i would say on average 2 per team
253229
If you mean 'how many will be present' then the answer is 736. If you mean 'how many will play' then nobody knows. It depends on injuries, suspensions and squad rotation. I would expect somewhere between 540-550 will actually play at some point.

I believe it was over a 22 year span. 2502 Games. He hit 3 Homeruns 712, 713, & 714 that day against Pittsburgh. Then he played one more game in which he injured his knee in the 1st inning and retired at game 2503.

Jacksonville: http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/rosters.nsf/Annual/1996-jac\nCarolina: http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/rosters.nsf/Annual/1996-car\n\nDepth charts: My guess would be to look at the players and seem how many games they played. I couldn't find that anywhere.

Everyone is correct. And I can not remember their names but several football players have been drafted into the NFL and came back to play after their service commitments.\n\nI did find this article listing players \nEnjoy

Each player in the wild-card playoff round earns $17,000 and another $19,000 for the divisional playoff round. Each player in the AFC championship game makes $37,000.\n\nThe winner of the Super Bowl then makes another $73,000, while the loser earns $38,000.\n\nWith the contracts today, this is probably less than just about everyone's per-game paycheck during the regular season.

Walter Payton's last year in the league was 1987, truly disqualifying him from this question.\n\nAlso, if the question was from 1980, LT (Lawrence Taylor) would have to be on the list, but his 1st year in the league was 1981, which takes off 28 of his career sacks.\n\nI think you really have to look at as who has changed the game the most since 1985 and here are my top 6, in no particular order.\n\n1. John Elway\n2. Lawrence Taylor\n3. Deion Sanders\n4. Barry Sanders (sorry, Payton played too many years b4 1985, Marshall Faulk may be a better fit).\n5. Reggie White\n6. Jerry Rice\n\nIf you look at the NFL today, teams are still looking for these types of players at those specific positions: A QB that can lead, throw, and run; a LB that can blitz, tackle, and cover; a CB that can outrun anyone, intercept the ball, and play special team; a RB that can be the focal point of the running game and do all of the little things; a DE that just can't be stopped, but can stop the run and the pass; and a WR that could catch an anvil dropped off of the top of the Statue of Liberty, run tight routes, and beat the defender.

Terry Bradshaw - #12\nMean Joe Greene - #75\nLynn Swann - #88\nFranco Harris - #32\n\nAll are in the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. \n\nNone of the jersey numbers were officially retired by the Steelers organization.

no one knows because many are in the closet. But 75% is a rediculous figure . In the general population studies have been as high as 10% and as low as 1%, so I'd guess about 5% and the same would probably be true in Pro football

I don't think anyone's ever worn zero.  Up until a few years ago, when numbers were becoming scarce due to retiring numbers, every position had a sset range of numbers that were allowed by the NFL.  WR wearing numbers in the 80's for example.  The league's loosened up on that now, so who knows what numbers you'll see in the future.

I would assume top 20.  I can think of at least 2 still active that will probably be ranked higher already.  Favre for sure, and if Manning ever manages to win a Super Bowl, he will be considered better.  There are also others playing that have the ability to catch him at some point, but not yet.

Well I do not know how many youth play football, but there are 32 teams in the NFL each with about 70 players on their active rosters and practice squads.  That means there are about 2240 players in the NFL.  Most high school football teams have about 50 players per team (Varsity, JV, Freshman) and there are thousands of high schools in the country (to make the math simple lets say that there are 10,000 high schools in the US with Varsity, JV, and Freshman teams.  That means that there are about 1,500,000 people playing high school football in the US.  Of those only about .14% of people who play high school football make it to the NFL.  These numbers are just estimates, if anything the number of high school football players is low.
