The Arkansas Razorbacks will have an open battle for the starting quarterback position this fall under new head coach Chad Morris.
However, Cole Kelley, who started a few games in place of the injured Austin Allen last year, is hoping to quickly lock up the gig.
While throwing at the Manning Passing Academy on Sunday, Kelley impressed those in attendance with this 70-yard bomb that hits the receiver in stride on a post route:

The ball travels about 70 yards in the air, as Kelley launches it from around the 35-yard line and it hits the receiver’s hands in the end zone.
Kelley certainly has a strong arm, but he’ll need to show knowledge of Morris’s offense and solid decision-making this summer if he wants to be the Razorbacks’ Week 1 starter.
