Cardale Jones shows off arm strength with 74-yard throw (Video)
Ohio State held its spring game Saturday in front of nearly 100,000 fans at the Horseshoe. Before the annual Scarlet-Gray game got underway, fans were entertained with several competitions.
For one, the quarterbacks, along with former Buckeye Troy Smith, competed in a long-toss competition. Cardale Jones beat J.T. Barrett with this insane 74-yard throw. For what it’s worth, Braxton Miller did not participate.
Here’s another angle.
The Buckeyes also showcased their circle drill for the fans and Jones got to square off with fellow quarterback Stephen Collier.
Jones is listed at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. I wouldn’t want to absorb that hit, but it looks like the 6-foot-4, 225-pound Collier handled it just fine.
Once the game was finally played, Jones threw for 304 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and led the Gray team to a 17-14 victory. Collier threw for 157 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions for the Scarlet. Barrett (shoulder) and Miller (foot) are still on the mend and sat out.
