what is the record in yards for throwing a footbal (quaterback)?

Answer 1

Brett Favre hold the record of a ball being thrown 72 yards. The 99 yard trecords mean the qb could have thrown it at the 1 yard line to the 5 yard line then the wr ran it the rest of the way but its still 99 passing yards on one play.

Answer 2

I remember reading on the back of an NFL player card that Jeff George made an 88 yard in-the-air throw during the NFL combine for the 1990 draft. This amazing feat was one of the main reasons George was selected with the first overall pick in the Draft.

I tried to look up info on it over the web, but was unsucessful. I found a few articles referring to George being known for throwing 80 yard bombs, but nothing specifically about the NFL combine throw.

Answer 3

I am not sure if anyone has thrown a pass of more than 80 yrds. Recently i have been watching the NFL Network on TV and a few weeks back i saw a QB Challenge and one of the things they did was throwing the ball in a field to see how did the longest pass and during the show the longest one was a pass by Carlson Palmer of the Cincinnati Bengals who did 75 yrds.

Answer 4

I have no idea how true this is, but it was said that former Atlanta Falcon QB Steve Bartkowski was drafted, he put on a demonstration of his arm strngth by taking a running start from 5 yards deep in one end zone, throwing the ball when he reached the goalline, and it landed 5 yards deep in the OTHER endzone, making it a 105 yard toss. I doubt it's true, but it was an urban legend in my youth....
