I heard Carson Wentz has elite arm talent, so I figure he could probably do it

i think it’s been described as a dynamic arm

Last year my 16-year-old grandson was throwing a football from his own 35-yard line into the opposite end zone. His team was practicing deep kickoffs and the kicker could only get it to the 20.

Throwing a ball 70 yards isn't that strange. Matt Cassell could throw the ball from one end zone to the other and it didn't make up for accuracy or being able to read a defense.
Matt Cassell could throw the ball 100 yards? :scratch:

The guy playing QB for Iowa right now throws it over 70 easy. I see it at least 1 time a game. Usually his receiver is about 5 yards wide open too. Sadly the WR is also only 50 yards away from the QB

I haven't watched the video yet. Bradshaw did have those great deep throws to Swann and Stallworth in Super Bowl action. Is Namath on there? Namath supposedly had a cannon, too.
Namath had a strong arm for someone who wore pantyhose. :)

Josh Allen may have been trying to throw the ball out of the stadium earlier this season after scoring a TD; it went about halfway up the top deck in the portion of the stadium he threw. If he tried that with a tail wind he might be able to do it.

Anybody who started for the Bills for any length of time needed a relatively strong arm to deal with the wind. Jim Kelly had a very strong arm. I remember one time there was some sort of flea-flicker, and he casually tossed the ball about 50-60 yards to a wide open receiver with a flick of the wrist, like he was playing catch with a child.

Most can get it at least close to that far.

Of course the big thing is how accurate and sharp it is, won't do much good if it just kinda widdles that far.
