GREEN BAY - It's time for our Ask Aaron web exclusive!

MIA: "Hey Aaron, My name's Mia, and I've been told I throw a mean spiral. How did you learn how to throw?"

AARON: "I'd have to say my dad.  He was an offensive lineman in college, and played some semi-pro, but we called pass patterns.

"My brother was Jerry Rice, and I was Ronnie Lott, or John Taylor, and my brother was Eric Davis or one of those guys covering me.  We'd throw a lot in the backyard or whatever, and sometimes dad would be outside and be Brent Jones, and I'd get to be Joe Montana. But we just threw a lot growing up, and I just kind of developed an arm from there."
