Best Answer

In competitive football, the length of the throw is not measured, but rather the length of the play (catch and run). The longest pass is 99 yards in US football and 109 yards in Canada, that being one yard less than the length of the field.

There is no official record for Longest Throw, but a distance of 80-90 yards (73-82 m) seems to be considered the longest. NFL quarterbacks such as Steve Bartkowski, Randall Cunningham, and Jamarcus Russell (all tall, powerful throwers) have thrown the ball that far in the air.

One NFL site lists an unofficial record for ball distance, which was 83 yards by Don Meredith of the Dallas Cowboys, part of a 95-yard pass to Bob Hayes on November 13, 1966.

Eleven quarterbacks have thrown a 99-yard touchdown pass in the NFL: Frank Filchock, George Izo, Karl Sweetan, Sonny Jurgensen, Jim Plunkett, Ron Jaworski, Stan Humphries, Brett Favre, Trent Green, Jeff Garcia, and Gus Frerotte. None of these quarterbacks have done it twice.

All of these passes included runs after the catch.

Don Meredith threw a pass that traveled 83 yards in the air before it was caught by Bob Hays. This is the completion which traveled the farthest in the air.
