30-yards ish?...

If I try to throw it even harder, it slips out of my hands... I have Daunte Culpepper-like small hands.

That, and if I play football with friends or intramurally, I'm usually the power back or the WR/TE...

I top out at around 40-45 yards, but they’re usually wounded ducks at that distance. Tight spiral, probably 30-35 yards.

I won't lie either...I've also thrown it into the upper tier seats in the LA Coliseum

And as well, made a guy fly for 20 yards with the ball, with the power of my throw.

It's because I drink this:

I am not sure how big NFL footballs are, but I can throw a HS football around 15-20 yards

Furthest I've ever gotten was 60 yards. That was about 6 years ago tho and I have not thrown a football all that much.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

40-50 yards no problem. When I played and my arm was conditioned a little better, I could hit 60.
