Favre throwing the pigskin around in Hattiesburg, MS.



















At a recent high school football workout in Mississippi, someone commented, "(Brett Favre) was crisp on short timing passes and was hitting receivers in the end zone from about 50 yards away. He attempted a few deep passes off bootlegs and usually hit his targets in stride...Favre's spirals held true and he proved he still has plenty of zip when he tossed a deep pass to a college receiver who dropped by to work out. The pass split the receiver's hands and hit him in the face."

"He's a senior from Southeastern Louisiana, so I put a little more on it," Favre said with a smile.

WR Micah Williams from Oak Grove High in Hattiesburg, Miss., told the AP, "He's still throwing hard like he used to...Still with zip. Hard. If you don't wear gloves, your hands are going to be through."

Favre commented, "With the small ones (receivers), you've got to learn to take a little bit off when you throw it," Favre said. "I haven't had a parent call me and say, 'Are you trying to kill my son?' "

Favre recently said he'd make his decision whether or not to come out of retirement once again to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season by July 30. He then upped his deadline to this Friday.
