The more things change...

Context: this is a 1934 MGM short. The pass is real but it’s not a game, hence the defender with the fly-by. From @cdwillis83 of NFL Films 👇👇 @cardschicago @WCGridiron

“That son of a gun could throw a ball 60 yards behind his back — accurately.” Here is @dandalyonsports on @ChicagoBears’s player John Doehring, the man who uncorked that incredible behind-the-back pass. @SoldierFieldBlg @WCGridiron @cdwillis83

Reminder: the 100-year anniversary of this footage is in 10 years 👀 @WCGridiron

The time John "Bull" Doehring unleashed a behind-the-back pass to Luke Johnsos in a game while being chased to the sideline. @WCGridiron @cardschicago

Greetings football fanatics! Meet the 1934 @ChicagoBears. @WCGridiron

And as I’ve said elsewhere, salute to Pat Mahomes!

Archie Manning throwing behind his back because he had a pulled muscle in his throwing arm. The #ManningCast showed this to Mahomes last year, who loved it. Awesome stuff 🔥

Shoot, @conace21 notes that this Archie Manning pass was underhanded, not behind-the-back. Still sweet!

Nice going fella

That’s football in a large way.
