It's right below accuracy, pocket awareness and anticipation for me.

I think it's below intelligence as well. I mean the ability to read a defense pre snap and also sometimes when they have a really strong arm even when the have good pocket awareness they make stupid throws into coverage like favre was known to do

Okay, but without good arm strength all of that is for nil

Take Sean White from Auburn for example.
He's extremely accurate. Good instincts and solid pocket awareness as well.... but he's got shite arm strength and struggles with passes over 20 or 25 yards.
Give him 2 inches of height and the arm strength of Nick Marshall and White is potentially a 1st round prospect.


And arm strength doesn't just effect your deep ball. It also effects how well you can fit short passes into small windows, and how well you can get the past the DL.
Arm strength us important on EVERY throw.
