The longest penalty in an NFL game is undefined. A defensive pass interference penalty is assessed from the line of scrimmage to the spot of the foul. If the spot of the foul is 30 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, the penalty is 30 yards. If the spot of the foul is 18 yards past the line of scrimmage, the penalty is 18 yards. If the spot of the foul is 9 yards past the line of scrimmage, the penalty is 9 yards. A defensive pass interference penalty is the only penalty that can be longer than 15 yards.
Face mask, roughing the passer, roughing the kicker, pass interference, clipping...

Unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct or delay of game may lead to a fifteen yard penalty in the NFL. There are two kinds, one is five yards and there is a fifteen yard one. But the NFL took out the five yard one in 2008.
i think the guy said 96 yards and that was the longest in history
The penalty spot is 6 meters from the center of the goal, centered at the top of the penalty area. There is a second penalty spot that is 10 meters from the center of the goal, and this is used for the sixth and subsequent accumulated foul in the same half of the game.
yes, that penalty would cause you 15-yards and possibly an ejection from the game, but the ejection part is not likely....most of the time.
You are probably referring to the penalty arc which is at the top to the penalty area. It is not exactly a half of a circle.Prior to the taking of a penalty kick all players except the kicker and the opposing goal keeper must be outside of the penalty area and at least 10 yards from the penalty mark. The penalty mark is only 8 yards from the edge of the penalty area! So an extra bit of distance is added to show the players where they must be.
