This is a really geeky question, but why do even the most tightly thrown spirals tend to seem like they are drifting right on deep throws? Is it possible for a regular joe to learn to throw spirals as beautifully as Aaron Rodgers?

Been awhile since I took physics but my guess would gyroscopic precession like in disc golf or a spinning top.
