not nearly as far as most NFL quarterbacks. Probably not even 60 yards. Some NFL quarterbacks can throw it as far as Tom Brady can from their knees.

According to www.ncaa.org, there are a total of 628 NCAA football teams. That includes teams from all four divisions (FBS [I-A], FCS [I-AA], II, and III). One division I-A football team, which I checked, has over 100 players on its roster. If we use 60 as the number of players on each football team, then there are 37,680 players playing NCAA football (obviously this number may be higher). There are 32 NFL teams with 53 players on each roster for a total of 1,696 football players in the NFL. That means that each year over 9,500 new potential players are entering the NFL job market (one quarter of 37,680). In addition to those players vying for jobs in the NFL there are still the current NFL players and other walk-on players. In reality only about 250 NCAA players are drafted into the NFL each year. 250/9500=2.6% or about 1:40 odds of a college player making it to the NFL.

During the 2007 (or 2007-2008) seasons, the NBA saw the greatest winning percentage for the home team, at 60%. NFL home teams won 57% of their games, and NHL and MLB teams each won 54% of their games. However 11% of NHL games ended in ties (there were no ties in the NFL that year, and the other sports don't have ties). The ratio of wins to losses was actually very slightly higher in the NHL than it was in the NBA, at 1.509 wins per loss in the NHL, and 1.505 wins per loss in the NBA.
