If you're talking about yards from the line of scrimmage, then he would've needed several yards less than what I said to hit Aiyuk on the deep corner on the play.
Also, Steve Young never hit 45 if we're going off yards from the line of scrimmage as the measurement.
No worries, just a misunderstanding then. Air yards are calculated from the LoS FYI. I obviously wouldn't disagree Brock can throw a ball 45-50 yards from the launch point. That's going to make it more of a ~ 40 air yard throw factoring a usual drop.
I'm pretty sure Brock's longest Air Yard throw was the helmet Aiyuk catch, though I'm not 100 percent positive. That throw looked like everything he had.
This is all beside the point anyway. Like you mentioned in an earlier post, we're not really talking about deep downfield throwing.
