Re: How long could John Elway throw a football in his prime
[ QUOTE ]
There is a competition in the offseason that is a skills challenge for NFL QBs and it includes a throw for distance. I can't find it online, but I'm pretty sure that no one ever got to 80 yards.
There is no way that Elway, or any other QB could throw 100 yards in the air.

I don't know if any NFL QB was ever capable, but there are people who can:

Pleas “Clegg” Starks, described by legendary Georgia scribe Dan McGill as “the most celebrated water boy since Kipling’s Gunga Din,” served the Bulldogs for more than half a century before his death in 1963. At age eight, he was listed as “mascot and water boy” in the 1909 Georgia football team photo and actually began his water boy career under Coach Alex Cunningham before World War I. Clegg made trips with the Bulldogs for over 50 years and became famous for being able to throw a football 100 yards.

Like I said though, I doubt Elway could.
