A 5-star rating (or any recruiting rating) is a rating of high school players based on their high school resumes.
It has nothing to do with what their NFL potential will be 3-5 years later.
That's not what the sites say. They say it's players that they project to be high draft picks when that time comes.

I always thought that 5th star meant the player would contribute from day one.
It does offer the projection that means he will contribute immediately. I haven't read where a 5-star player gets redshirted anytime during his college career, unless it's a medical redshirt.
To me, a 5-star rating is of a player's great high school career.... and carries with it a high-level projection/implication that he could be an NFL player, and a very good one.

I wouldn't mind seeing a study of 5* players success vs the 3* and 4*. Heck the goat Tom Brady was 6th rnd.

5 star players are projected to be first round picks. Rattler was a 5 star who redshirted, Manning is said to be receiving a redshirt his first year at Texas.

Manning may get into 3-4 games next year like Rattler did in 2019 while keeping his "partial" redshirt status intact.

Wasn't Caleb Kelly red-shirted his first year? I'm struggling to remember. I do know that he was a 5-year (maybe 6?) player and came in with a 5-star ranking. I know he had a medical redshirt at some point, but I don't think that was his first year.

Caleb was a freshman All-American, he redshirted his senior year due to an ACL tear. He tore it again the next year and got the medical redshirt
