Having enough arm strength to throw a football out of a stadium is often seen as an exaggeration. However, Mahomes managed to prove it was actually possible. Reports suggest that the throw had to reach a height of about 86.7 yards in order to make its way out. If there were still any doubts about
Mahomes has never been shy about expressing his confidence in his arm strength. The challenges to himself have raised other wagers around the league. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the first to challenge him back in early April to decide once and for all which of the two had the stronger arm.
Now Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is looking to get himself in the act after he went viral by tossing a ball nearly 80 yards at UCLA earlier this week. Beckham made sure to up the ante by inviting Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to get in the mix as well. Regardless, it is clear that Mahomes has grown tired of all the speculation by deciding to go ahead and show the competition what could be in store if a challenge ever comes to fruition.
