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 size of a quarterbackâs hands is even more important than his height.. Favreâs hands were measured by the NFL years ago (from thumb tip to pinkie tip) at 10 3â8 inches. For comparisonâs sake, Tony Romoâs hand was measured at 8.88 inches. Anything bigger than 9 1â2 is considered large for an NFL QB prospect.
