It is estimated that around 3,000 cows are slaughtered each year to produce enough leather for all the footballs used in the NFL.
All NFL footballs are manufactured in the Wilson Sporting Goods football factory in Ada, Ohio. It is the only football manufacturing facility in the US, and has been making NFL footballs in the same building since 1955. The entire process is done by hand and they produce about 4,000 footballs a day.
An NFL size football is inflated to 7-9 lbs that's all i know. Update: Actually, a correctly inflated ball is filled with air to a pressure of 12.5-13.5 psi.

Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron. The shape has 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. It has 32 faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges.Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron.

1. Leather FootballsLeather footballs are the highest grade footballs and are typically used in game and practice play. Many of the leather footballs are made with a tanning process that makes the ball tacky, so it is easier to grip, particularly when wet. Some leather footballs are also made to resist absorbing moisture, so they can be used in all weather conditions. Leather footballs that are not specified as water proof or water resistant should not be used in wet conditions, as the ball can absorb water becoming heavier and harder to grip. Leather footballs are only intended for use on grass or turf surfaces.2. Composite FootballsComposite or composite leather footballs are made from synthetic leather. These balls tend to cost less than leather footballs. Composite footballs may be used in game or practice situations and are great recreational use. Composite footballs look and feel like leather, but tend to resist moisture better than real leather. They are also often easier to grip, because the composite material usually has more texture. Some composite leather balls have enhanced the grip of the ball even more by making the cover tacky and/or softer. Composite leather footballs tend to be more durable than leather footballs. However, like leather footballs, these balls are generally intended for use on grass or turf surfaces.

All types of footballs roll, as they have curved surfaces. Some footballs (soccer) are nearly spherical and will roll for greater distances. Rugby and Australian footballs are rounder and will roll farther than the tapered US footballs. Even the US and Canadian balls can roll for dozens of meters (yards) under the proper circumstances.
