The Facts:
According to some teammates, Rodgers' throws have more velocity than Brett Favre's. "He has a cannon," WR Greg Jennings said. "We call him the 'Human Jugs Machine.' He throws it like a Jugs machine every time. ... He can make every throw on the football field, and his deep ball is one of the prettiest. Brett had a great deep ball, but Aaron has a beautiful one."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jennings said there are some throws Rodgers makes that have more velocity than Favre's. And after watching the team's mini-camp this week, ESPN.com insider John Clayton reports it's impossible not to notice how impressive Rodgers looks now that No. 12 runs the offense. He has a smooth, polished retreat from center. His feet are in good position for each throw out of three- and five-step drops. Using a baseball comparisons, Clayton suggests that Rodgers might not generate 99 or 100 mph on the radar gun, but he'd consistently hit 94 and 95, and sometimes 96.
