How many NFL players are there in north America?

Answer 1

There are 32 NFL teams. Each team is allowed 53 players on their active roster for a total of 1,696 active players at any one time. Of course this does not include any players that may be injured and will be coming back (which would require someone to be released in order to maintain the 53 person limit) or each team has a practice squad of I believe 9 players who may practice with the team but cannot play in a game unless activated to the team before the game and the team does not go over the 53 person limit.
