Referee dropped back and launched his flag 31 yards during last night's Jaguars-Bears game

A ref in the Jacksonville Jaguars-Chicago Bears preseason game launched a flag an astounding 31 yards, even taking a three-step dropback to get it up to the line of scrimmage.

The Jacksonville Jaguars-Chicago Bears preseason game on Thursday night also served as the coming out party for one of the NFL's most exciting new arms, except he was not on either team's roster. It was the back judge, and he hurled a flag 31 yards.

Look at this guy's impeccable footwork and quick release, right under the noses of all the NFL's talent evaluators this entire time!
