Who Throws The Fastest Football In The NFL?

We all know that quarterbacks in the NFL have to be able to throw the ball quickly and accurately. But who throws the fastest football in the NFL? We did some research and found out the answer.

Introduction

In the National Football League, there is a common misconception that quarterbacks with the strongest arms are able to throw the football the farthest. While a strong arm is important, there are other factors that contribute to how far a football can be thrown. In this article, we will take a look at some of the NFL’s best quarterbacks and see who throws the fastest football.

Tom Brady

Tom Brady, who plays for the New England Patriots, is widely considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He is also one of the oldest players in the league, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still capable of throwing a fast football.

In fact, Brady has been clocked at throwing a football at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. That is incredibly fast, and it’s one of the reasons why Brady is still able to be an effective quarterback at his age.

Drew Brees

Since the NFL began measuring completed passes in 2008, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has had the four fastest throws, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Brees’ fastest throw was 61 yards in the air to Robert Meachem against the Carolina Panthers in 2010. His second-fastest throw was 60 yards to Meachem against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009.

Brees’ other two fast throws were 58-yarders – one to Devery Henderson against the Atlanta Falcons in 2008 and one to Kenny Stills against the Miami Dolphins in 2013.

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers has been clocked as throwing a football at speeds up to 62 miles per hour.

Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks has the fastest throw recorded in the NFL at 61.3 mph. Wilson’s speed was recorded during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2016.

Conclusion

After looking at all the data, it is safe to say that Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs throws the fastest football in the NFL. He has an average throw speed of 60 mph, and his fastest throw was clocked at 62 mph.
