The fastest a football has ever been thrown was a pass by Joe Montana at the speed of 82 mph. ----

Sorry, don't believe it. An object that travels 82 miles per hour travels 120 feet in one second. That's 40 yards. My guess would be maybe 60 or so MPH would be an extremely fast throw. Can anybody give a better answer and include a link to the source of the answer? ---- Brett Favre has always been known to have the hardest throws in football. A while back when he was with the Packers, Monday Night Football used radar on several of his throws and I'm pretty sure he was topping out around 70/71. I can't quite remember. Also, Joe Montana had a weak arm compared to a lot of QB's. The reason he was so good was because of his ability to recognize defensive coverage schemes and constantly being on the same page as his receivers.

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 yeads by Don Meredith of the Dallas Cowboys, part of a 95-yard pass to Bob Hayes on November 13, 1966.
