You should have noted that a football fied is 100vyatds, not 100 feet..
Still, 30 m/s is 1 tenth the speed of sound.

And a lightweight particle isnt going to go far at any speed other than the speed of the surrounding air.

Yes. If you have a fast arm, you might be able to throw an object at nearly 100 mph. But try throwing a flat, unfolded, small piece of paper as fast as you can. See how far that travels. ;)
