I cannot simply copy-paste my entire rulebook onto here. That would be in violation of the copyright of the rulebook.

If you want all the rules, it is best you go purchase a rulebook. A simple search on NCAA Football rules or NFHS Rules (for high school) will help you find a rulebook for purchase. They are all under $20, so it isn't an expensive purchase.

Or you can become a football official, which is a fun side job I enjoy. If you are into the rules, you should consider it at the very least...

How many rules are there in American football?

There are so many rules that even people who grew up playing and loving the game do not know.

Because football is its original name, as the ball is kicked by the foot.
