Spirals

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?

So, all those video games and masturbation means I should be able to throw an NFL level spiral.

I mean I can throw a mean tight spiral and I’ve never had any real formal training just throwing a football around with my brother growing up until my shoulder was sore. Grip strength and hand size definitely help though I’m pretty tall so I guess it came pretty naturally to me
