Was interested in JM style and was surprised to find the following article:

Get a grip: How Mahomes, Brady, Lamar and 10 other QBs fling the football

Patrick Mahomes credits his early baseball career. Josh Allen learned by throwing rocks in a dumpster. Big Ben ... never gave it much thought. But the NFL's quarterbacks all have something to say about how they hold the football.

Interesting article about the physics of a throw in the Wall Street Journal last month. Why Does a Patrick Mahomes Football Pass Look So Beautiful? These Physicists Believe They Have the Answer

If you like reading scientific papers, here is the one referenced in the article from the American Journal of Physics

Here is one of Dr Timothy Gay's talks on the physics of football

Yeah man, its pretty common for QB's to not find the laces in quick pass game. Its not a specific style. I started seeing it in HS QB's about 10 years ago. We tell our QB's the same thing. We want to get the ball out as fast as possible on our quick passes.
