Everyone knows that Zion Williamson is one of the best players in college basketball and next month, the Duke Blue Devils star will be drafted into the NBA. Most analysts have him going first overall and the team that gets him can't be any happier. Zion is an absolute physical specimen who impressed the basketball world with his monstrous dunks and his ability to block people with ease. The jury is still out as to whether or not he'll be able to translate his game to the NBA but considering how much passion he has, he'll definitely be putting in the work regardless of how good he turns out.

Leading up to the draft, Zion has been taking it easy and in a new video, Williamson was seen on the beach showing off just how strong he is. No, he wasn't bench pressing people or dunking on innocent bystanders. Instead, Williamson was seen launching a football in the air with incredible distance.

In the video above, you can see Zion throw the ball up in the air with ease as it curves all the way down the beach. His pass wasn't exactly accurate but there is something to be said about the cannon of an arm he has.

While the NBA doesn't exactly need this kind of skillset, it surely speaks to just how strong he is.
