Division 1 FBS is a good bit higher than that.
130 schools x 21 scholarships per year = 2730 players.

Division 1 FCS is 63 scholarships / 4 = 15
1500 more players = 4230
Not every FCS school uses their full allotment of scholarships.

With walkons plus Division II, III, and schools not playing a full schedule there could be as many as 16000 eligible in any given year.

However most of the 256 drafted are going to be Div I FBS.
So for them it’s maybe 8%. Div I FCS chances are a lot lower, and Div II/III, etc. are much lower.

I'm not talking about eligible, my statement was about actual NFL draftees...........

There has never been 16,000 draftees in the history of college football. I think you get my point.
