I'm sure others can add to this list.

I remember John Madden would comment about how Brett Favre would throw with the same velocity on short routes as he would with long routes... not sure if that's a good thing but he didn't earn "The Old Gunslinger" nickname for nothing.
Also yeah, Matt Stafford has a NASTY cannon, that man can really throw the hell out of a football, seriously.
I despise the Packers and the Patriots as a whole, but Favre had a freakin' cannon and earned a nickname because of it. I don't think anyone throws a ball harder than he did.
