The regulation NFL football is an inflated rubber bladder filled with 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 pounds of air, covered with pebble grained leather (pigskin) of tan color. It is a prolate spheroid with a long axis of 11-11 1/4 inches and a circumgerence of 28-28 1/2 inches. It weighs 14-15 ounces. NCAA is the same.
