The term "haymaker" came into being because the path of the punch mimics the appearance of a scythe which was often used to manually cut hay. The scythe was used to chop it down before the hay was formed into bales.

Why is a long throw in football called a haymaker?
I have never actually heard anyone describe a long throw in football as a haymaker. A Haymaker is typically defined as a wild punch, thrown with all of someone's might in the hopes of knocking out their opponent. I would surmise that a color analyst would describe a long throw as a haymaker if it has a debilitating negative effect on the opponents defense. As in "the offense just knocked the defense down with that haymaker". However haymaker is not a term that is generally used in regards to football.
