What's the longest anyone has thrown a football? What's longest complete pass in a game?

Question

How far can you throw the football?

Answer 1

I have a 51 Yard floater but the longest pass ever was in oklahoma by two 23 year olds and one passed the ball to another for about 106 yards.

Answer 2

This is one of those questions that will never really have an answer. Even in game situations, records are not kept for the distance of incomplete passes, and even when they are complete, there is no accounting for how much of the play is in the air and how much is gained after the catch -- let alone how far behind the line of scrimmage the QB is.

But I can tell you that when Doug Williams was playing for Tampa Bay, I once saw him throw a ball about 70 yards downfield -- *flat-footed.*

Answer 3

There have been stories about players who can informally pass the ball something like 80 yards -- Jim Plunkett, I believe, was said to be able to throw the ball that far. There's no formal record.

There have been a few 99 yard passes, but obviously they are throw-and-catch plays where there was plenty of running by the receiver.

Answer 4

kyle boller has a pretty amazing arm. he could kneel on the 50 yard line, and without the help of wind, throw the ball through the goal posts. he may not be a good QB but that's a pretty incredible arm strength if you ask me. I can throw maybe 60 yards with me slightly moving forward, let alone on my knees. I would like to know how far he can throw it with a running start...

Answer 5

jamarcus russel can throw the ball 90 yards with a running start without a running start 60 yards on his knees 45 yards on his butt 25 yard and layind down 10 yards

Answer 6

most of the QB's can throw 60 yrds exept the QB's that suck and the longest TD pass is 99 yds B.Farve
