Footballs were invented to replace the inflated pig's bladder that was initially used when football was in its infancy.
The first football was made from a pigs bladder and stiched up in leather laces.
Originally people kicked around a pig's bladder. Later they used a leather ball, laced up, with a rubber bladder blown up inside.
An American football was made from a deer hide or other animal hide along with a pig's bladder when the ball was first created. Currently, football teams have their own engineers to make the footballs to specifications with plastic bladder or rubbers with plastic coverings. Leather is rarely used to make footballs.
The 'invention' of football goes back as far as the 11th century in England. During those days the football was an inflated bladder, usually from a pig. This is where the term 'pigskin' came from.

Footballs are now made up of natural rubber bladder. Rubber bladder are made up of Butyl Rubber, 100% pure Butyl Rubber is preferred.
Simply wash out a pig's bladder, inflate it, and seal the openings. A proper pig bladder ball is simply material made from a pig's bladder wall cut into panels which are stitched together, then inflated. It is structurally similar to a ball made from any other material (leather or plastic, for instance).
