It was reported that John Elway threw a ball 80 yards in San Diego the year he retired. Others say he could stand at home plate in Coors Field and plunk the scoreboard with a Baseball.

How far can you throw a soccer ball?

In speaking about American football, the position called quarteback, is the one most often having the responsibility of throwing the football to one of his receiving players. In doing so certainly distance is an important factor but that alone is not sufficient. Accuracy combined with distance can make or break a football play. At the professional football level, a coach can expect the quarterback to be able to throw a football at between 45 to 60 yards with accuracy.

How far can a football player throw a football?

A QB's arm strength is routinely exaggerated, so it is hard to find true information. However, I have been both a pitcher and a QB, and there is a direct coorelation between baseball pitching MPH and the distance you should be able to throw a football. Below is a chart based upon general observations with different pitchers in the 65-MPH to 90MPH range Baseball MPH Expected Football Distance 65 45 Yards 70 50 Yards 75 55 Yards 80 60 Yards 85 65 Yards 90 70 Yards 95 75 Yards (estimated) 100 80 Yards (estimated) These observations are based upon near sea-level altitudes with no-wind. If you were throwing in Mile-High stadium, you could add another 8-10% to these figures. Rarely will you see an NFL QB throw the ball (in the air) longer than 60 yards. Also know that any quarterback can throw the ball 100 yards if the wind at their back was strong enough.
