Cardale Jones on his 74-yard Bomb at Ohio State's Spring Game: 'My arm was kind of tired'

J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller aren't going to give Cardale Jones the starting job at quarterback for Ohio State the fall easily, but the two cannot even wish to compete with Jones at when it comes to arm strength.

Aptly nicknamed 12-Gauge for his cannon of a right arm, Jones wrote another chapter in his fun-loving, free-spirited approach to life Saturday, when he casually took off his pads at halftime of the Spring Game and launched a 74-yard bomb downfield.

The throw was part of a quarterback competition Jones partook in against Barrett and 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith.
