An official NFL football is slightly larger than high school or other professional leagues. The length should measure about 11 inches from tip to tip, and the in circumference at the center of the football should measure about 22 inches.imilar to other levels of football, the NFL uses an egg-shaped football, but the NFL has specific rules to the size, shape and materials used for the football. The Digest of Rules of the NFL explains the official size requirements for the football, along with other basic rules for playing the game.
The biggest difference is size comes between DI-A programs and the rest of the football division levels. Players at the NCAA D1-A (FBS) level are the biggest and best football prospects from across the country. Depending on the position, they are consistently 1-2 inches taller and 15-20lbs heavier.This is why, if you are trying to make a D1 roster as an undersized recruit coaches have such a difficult time recruiting you.f you turn on the TV to watch the upcoming NFL combine, or read over the measurements of the ESPNU top 150 football recruits, you might be led to believe that every college football player is 6â2â+ and over 220lbs.
