Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, a former college quarterback, in a Bleacher Report’s “Ditch the Playbook with Lefoke” showed off his passing arm.

The show is going to debut on the Bleacher Report App today.

The person standing with the clipboard is from Madden Football. When the host — Adam Lefkoe — talks about getting a play in the playbook as a QB, he means that EA has added a pass play for Sanu in the game because of that effort. For the record — he threw farther than the longest throws by Cam Newton, Tom Brady, and yes, Ryan.
