It was only a pass thrown in practice, but what Dan Orlovsky saw was part of why he put Matthew Stafford on his “best of” list in quarterback rankings.
Orlovsky did not hesitate to say “9” -- Stafford’s uniform number with the Detroit Lions -- when asked on the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football show this week which NFL quarterback has the strongest arm.
He also ranked Stafford No. 1 in fourth-quarter comebacks.
Stafford and Orlovsky were teammates on the Detroit Lions for three years (2014-16), and Orlovsky saw firsthand Stafford’s amazing arm in practice and games.
