Demaryius Thomas says Broncos QB Peyton Manning has 'more zip on his ball'

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had a noticeably weakened arm last season, noodle like some might say. This year Demaryius Thomas claims Manning's arm is actually getting stronger! "There's almost more zip on his ball. You can notice it," Thomas said, "He threw a couple posts today, probably 50, 60 yards, and I'm like, 'Whoa.' It's making me excited."

FANTASY ANALYSIS

It is extremely unlikely Manning's arm is stronger than it was at this time last year. Sure, it may be stronger than it was when the Broncos' season ended but that really isn't saying much. By December, he could barely throw a spiral and corners were sitting on out routes.
