Wonder if Milton could throw a baseball…

Throwing a baseball 300 ft is equivalent to about an 80 mph fastball. A baseball weighs 9 oz and football almost a pound. He could probably throw a baseball 100 mph, but he doesn't know where it's going. The throwing motion for QB's rarely translates to pitching for some reason. Elway was an outfielder. Brady was a catcher. Helton and Marino were pitchers too, but primarily position players. Kenny Stabler was actually drafted 3 years in a row by MLB teams as a left handed pitcher. The Astros picked him in the first round in 68 but offered less money than the Raiders.

A baseball weighs 5 oz. Question: throwing which weighted ball is most likely to cause injury: a 3 oz. ball or a 10 oz. ball?

"just a bit outside"

or a bit high

It's all pre-bowl game fun and nothing else. If I had my, I'd set Joe up to demonstrate how far he could throw a freshman WR. Or throw a golf ball from midfield to Gay Street. Or if he could hit an overflying passenger liner with a pebble. Just to loosen up the players before the game, you know.

Tried the corner and missed

So maybe we do this.
Use our long snapper at center.
at snap, Joe is 20 yards back from center.
snap goes 10 yards back to Small.
he then laterals back to Joe
meanwhile Squirrel and our two other fastest players run as far as they can in straight line to end zone.
Joe then throws toward end zone.
it’s either touchdown, pass interference, interception or overthrow into the stands.
this is our play on every third and fourth down.

Chances are he was a two or three sport athlete growing up.
I imagine he could spin the horsehide pretty good.

He was a 3 sport star growing up: football, equestrian, water polo.

Orange throwing champion as well

He just brushed back the opponents dugout

Shotput ?
Javelin ?

It's an interesting idea.

My guess would be, he doesn't have nearly the accuracy a pitcher requires.

As for how far he throws the football, I remember when Michael Vick was still in college, they filmed him throwing the ball 70 yards...kneeling.

Joe Milton reminds me of Vick in arm strength. Though not in other ways.

Wasn’t this Jamarcus Russell?

PlyoCare enthusiasts would say "none of the above" if used with correct mechanics in a throwing regimen, but the number of throws is limited the more weight you add typically. Correct mechanics being the key phrase. You don't have to throw hard to throw poorly and have an injured arm as a result.

I would like to know exactly what happened.
