The Baker Mayfield Cannon
October 8th, 2025
The NFL published a fun video after last season. It showcased the top-9 longest throws since 2016 measured by yards in the air.
Guess who had two of those.
That’s right. It was Baker Mayfield.
The throws showcased were completions only.
Bo Nix of the Broncos had the longest throw since 2016. Mayfield ranked second with a 66.4-yard toss for a touchdown to Donovan Peoples-Jones with the Browns in 2021.
Mayfield also made the cut with a throw of 63.8 yards in his rookie season of 2018.
Joe brings this up because Mayfield’s bomb to Emeka Egbuka on Sunday went 63 yards in the air. Joe doesn’t have the precise NextGen Stats data, but rest assured this was a special throw.
The wild thing is Mayfield didn’t take a big run-up to unload the pass like he did to Peoples-Jones. Sunday’s was a very natural pocket throw.
What a beast!
If anyone ever told you Baker Mayfield doesn’t have a good arm, they lied to your face. Emeka Egbuka isn’t too bad either pic.twitter.com/4kS7xo3JJt
