Ranking NFL quarterbacks on their potential cornhole talents
By Conor Dorney
29. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Perhaps one of the most talked about storylines of the 2018 NFL Draft was just how strong of an arm Wyoming’s Josh Allen possesses. Some even argued that the mere velocity of his passes were too much for receivers to handle, thus explaining his poor completion percentage in college.
However you may feel about Josh Allen, he still has a long ways to go to prove himself on the football field and cornhole pitch. Inaccuracy can hurt you on the field, but it can do even more damage on the cornhole pitch.
Imagine for a second, if you will, simply trying to play a game of cornhole with Allen. All you can do is sit there and watch each beanbag reach terminal velocity before disintegrating the game board. With Allen still on his rookie contract, he doesn’t yet have cornhole board replacement money, despite being a high first-round pick.
A gunslinger with Allen’s arm talent will first need to prove that he can toss a beanbag with touch and understand the nuances of the game to truly ascend to cornhole royalty. Until then, he’s nothing more than that adult friend of yours who gets weirdly competitive around children far smaller than them.
