How many people are on a football team?

It depends. If you're in the NFL there is a 53 man roster and only 45 of them dress, only what is considered your active roster. In college football they will have over 100 players on their roster. It just depends on which league you are in. In arena football there are only 24 men on the team so it just depends which league your are in and whether it is college or pro or whatnot.
