BRONCOS QB Jay Cutler, 24, bench-pressed 225 pounds at the NFL combine and can throw a football 65 yards. Another Jay Cutler—34-year-old Mr. Olympia—benches almost 550 pounds, but he's afraid to try more than a five-yard spiral, lest he tear one of those Bubblicious biceps. Some folks confuse the two. "People assume he's a big guy and congratulate me after he had a good game," says Mr. Olympia. The Jay Cutlers do have similar backgrounds.

BRONCO JAY

Raised in Christmas Village, a subdivision of Santa Claus, Ind., which gets half a million letters a year addressed to Santa.

Worked at his dad's Cutler & Son Concrete starting at age six; was pouring concrete by age 10.

Once made $8 an hour hauling rubbish while riding the back of a garbage truck in Indiana.

Captained Heritage Hills High to a 15--0 record in his senior year. During the Division 3A championship he had a state record 19 tackles as a safety and caught the game-winning TD on a halfback pass.

Earned his bachelor's in human and organizational development at Vanderbilt, where he set school records for career TD passes (59) and passing yards (8,697).

Constantly draws comparisons with a certain two-time Super Bowl--winning ex-Bronco (left). In September he told SI, "I'm not John Elway. And I'm not going to be the next John Elway."

OLYMPIA JAY

Raised in Sterling, Mass., a Boston suburb that is the setting for the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
