I'm guessing about 40 yards or so. The width of the field is 53 yards, and I know I can't quite make it across that. When we used to go out and play in the old stadium at KSU, we'd set up the field so that our end zones were sideline to sideline, that way other groups could use the field too. We'd set up cones to mark "hard" first downs. SUPER easy to throw to the cone from the end zone, which after a small dropback is 30 yards. But REALLY tough to throw the 53 yards all the way across.

I'll go 40.
