A QB's arm strength is routinely exaggerated, so it is hard to find true information. However, I have been both a pitcher and a QB, and there is a direct coorelation between Baseball pitching MPH and the distance you should be able to throw a football. Below is a chart based upon general observations with different pitchers in the 65-MPH to 90MPH range

Baseball

MPH Expected Football Distance

65 45 Yards

70 50 Yards

75 55 Yards

80 60 Yards

85 65 Yards

90 70 Yards

95 75 Yards (estimated)

100 80 Yards (estimated)

These observations are based upon near sea-level altitudes with no-wind. If you were throwing in Mile-High stadium, you could add another 8-10% to these figures.

Rarely will you see an NFL QB throw the ball (in the air) longer than 60 yards. Also know that any quarterback can throw the ball 100 yards if the wind at their back was strong enough.
