I think this is sufficient to show that Goff is among the strongest arms of players selected and playing over the last 10 years.
Not bad for a skinny kid.
I didn't say THE strongest. There were a couple of 60 mph throwers Logan Thomas and someone named Bryan Bennett.
So from an arm strength standpoint, Goff is upper tier.
Certainly when looked at alone this is not the deciding measure of a good NFL QB. But I sure haven't found any good NFL QBs with ball speed less than 55. So velocity matters. Goff is anything but a noodle arm and so it also means he can throw the ball about as far as you'd ever want to.
