I read...in the Daily Oklahoman...that he tried to throw to his dad under the stands..with trainers watching.

He couldn't throw the football 20-25 feet accurately....He tried multiple times...and couldn't do it.

I read your first sentence as 'he tried to throw his dad under the stands'....

..and went on a rabbit trail of why would he do that....
