A haymaker is fighting term that means a hard, swinging punch or hit. It comes from how hay used to be harvested, which was by swinging a scythe, since the punch resembles the same motion and level of power.

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.
