VIDEO: NFL Daredevil Amuses Instagram Users by Launching Football into the Stratosphere with Cannonball Madness

Crazy things happen in sports every day. From bizarre controversies to weird on-court shenanigans, there is a lot more going on and off the field. For instance, we all remember the infamous headbutt of Zinedine Zidane in the FIFA World Cup Final against Italy. The action sparked one of the biggest controversies in soccer and eventually cost France the World Cup. Similarly, our minds go back to the game when the great Michael Jordan silenced the crowd with a last-minute point against the Cavaliers in 1993. Today’s story is also on the same line. Except, the experiment with the football was way too wild. 

We all know that the NFL stars always want their ball to travel as far as they can. However, the athlete in today’s video ideated a way in which the ball would actually go several miles. Surprised? Well, wait till you hear that to make this ball travel you don’t have to use much of your physical prowess! So what is the secret process? Is it a plausible one to be used in a match? Let us answer these questions in detail below. 

NFL experiment has the ball flying away into the horizon

The video was uploaded by House of Highlights on Instagram. In the short clip, we open with an athlete holding a football in his hand. The athlete was standing on the ground, with a lush green landscape providing a serene look to the frame. Clad in football gear, the man wore a black t-shirt along with black shorts. Matching the color with his outfit, the man was also sporting a pair of black joggers as well. 

To complete his athlete look, he was seen wearing a chest and shoulder guard, in typical NFL style. Adding finishing touches to his look was a helmet which was grey and white. As the video proceeded, we got to know a crazy idea the man was perceiving. This was his first attempt to throw a football with a cannon attached and lit behind it! 

As crazy as the idea sounds, the man went on with his fan to our utter amusement. The cannon soon caught fire and visible sparks started coming out from the lower half of the ball. After a while, the man got in position and threw the ball high up in the air. Immediately, the ball gained momentum from the ammunition stuffed inside and took off at a significant pace. Soon, the man was seen elated with excitement as the ball almost faded into the horizon. 

Such a crazy experiment soon had the fans’ attention. They came up with creative ideas in the comments section.
