Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford still has 'rare' arm talent 10 years in

CBS Sports analyst and former NFL MVP Boomer Esiason speaks to the media on Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2019, ahead of Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta.

Ten NFL seasons have done nothing to diminish Matthew Stafford’s incredible arm strength.

New Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan said Stafford remains one of the elite throwers of the football even as he enters his second decade as a starting quarterback and ranks among the NFL’s top 20 all-time in pass attempts.

“I never saw him up close early on in his career other than when we played them,” Ryan said this week.
