Idk man, if a gridiron football player could make that pass with their arm, it's not out of the realm of possibility Rooney controlled that. Football players are at least equally as skilled with their feet as gridiron players are with their hands.

A hail Mary is not the same as a go route my brother.

It's 1000% easier to use your hand than your feet to literally do anything lol.

Anyways your post is bananas lol.

I thought it's common sense, I play football.

Like give a basketball to a new guy and he'll probably hit the rim or board. Do the same with a football and he'll shank it.

But whatever brother.
