Very long throw + tight spiral, impressive. Longstreet short to medium throws have mucho velocity. Big issue is touch, throwing to hard and average accuracy. He is very athletic and can run for positive yards and scramble well. We got the better Qb vs JJ Lewis, Ga.
In an All Star game event among the top 6 HS QB's, Matt Barkley won the long ball throw competition. MB threw an 87 yd + 2 more throws averaging 83 yds, but his balls wobbled a little bit. If they were tight spirals like Longstreet most likely that one throw = 90 yds and the 3 throws, 85+ yds average. Matt had one of the strongest arms coming out of HS.
At USC, Matt threw too hard in short to medium passes where, many times his Wr's dropped the ball.
PS. Carson Palmer and Sam Darnold would have thrown in the 80's as well. No record of them in any type of competition.
