Ashley Lelie felt the sting, and blamed it on Jake's zing.
Then again, it could have been the chill in the air.
"My hands hurt a little more," the Denver Broncos wide receiver said when asked if new quarterback Jake Plummer had a bit more mustard on his passes than Brian Griese did.
"It might have been the cold, but I can feel a little bit more (zing)."
General manager Ted Sundquist acknowledged that critics have questioned Plummer's arm strength at times. But he believes Plummer showed he can "let it go."
"His velocity picked up as camp progressed," Sundquist said of the team's three-day mini-camp that wrapped up at noon Sunday.
"That's one of the reasons I wanted to get him here, besides his escapability. I thought he could thread it. He guns it in there pretty good, and he's got a snap release. That release, coupled with his footwork, is going to help us make more plays that probably didn't get made last year."
