He's thrown for three TDs, 200 yards, and he deflated four footballs.
It is sarcastic way to present a american football player. I didn't get what "thrown" here!
Thanks in advance,

Note from asker:
| I thought it is throw, but using "He is" confused me a bit. Thank you. |
| He is really quarterback. What 200 yards stands for here if main task of the quarterback is throwing the ball? Thanks. |
