QB Foot Warm Up

Here is a foot warm up I make my QB’s do at the beginning of every individual session. I make them do this even before they throw a football. I developed this with the help of Blaine Bennett who is the head football coach at Central Washington University and he was the QB coach at Purdue University for many years. He is truly a QB guru and a great guy to learn from. The workout is quick and should...

No Frontrunners!

A lot of NFL Wide Receivers have become poor role models and given the position a bad name. As a WR, you must consistently practice blocking. Get a partner lined up across from you simulating a DB, and get off hard. Have the partner break towards an imaginary runner. Swivel your hips and get great position to block the DB from the runner. You don’t need to be overly physical, just use your feet to...

AB Workout for QB’s

Where does most of your strength come from when throwing a football? The most common answers are your arm or legs. The truth is it comes from your core region and specifically your abs. Because of this misconception young QB’s lose out on a lot of zip and distance on their ball because they do not focus on their abs enough while working out. My general rule of thumb for my QB’s is that they do...

Square Drill for QB’s Agility in the Pocket

This is a very common drill that you will see at most skill camps throughout the nation. I believe it is so widely used because it is simple and incorporates all the movements you will use while working the pocket. To set up the drill you will need to put 4 cones into a square shape, with each cone being about 8 yards apart. To do the drill you will start at one cone and do a 5 step drop to the cone...

L Drill For QB’s

This is another simple drill that works on your footwork in the pocket. As a QB you want to spend as much time as you can working on drills that focus on your drop and movement in the pocket. This L drill is a great example. You need to set up 3 cones 5 yards apart from each other. Put one cone down on a yard line and then put another cone 5 yards to the right. Put your last cone 5 yards directly behind...

Break That Bubble!

When running routes against a defender, don’t get too caught up in how many steps you’ve taken. The main things to concentrate on are getting the correct yardage and breaking the defensive back’s bubble. For example, when running a hitch, attack his bubble and drive hard so he thinks you are running a fade (go). When you break his bubble he will turn his hips and you have him beat. FIRST DOWN BABY!...

Remember the Fundamentals

When working to improve your Wide Receiver skillset, never forget about the simple things that will lead to success. Work on stances and get-offs as much as you possibly can. Keep the weight on your front foot, push off low and hard. NO FALSE STEPS! Perfecting get-offs can mean the difference between converting on third and long or having to punt.

Footwork And Vision

This is a great drill you can run with a group or with just 2 people. Simply have 1 person for the quarterback(s) to watch as they do the drill. This drill focuses on keeping your head up and concentrating on what is happening down field. As a QB, you have to be able to maneuver in the pocket while staying focused on your reads. I highly encourage the use of this drill during the...

The 3 Step Drop

The 3 step drop is an essential part of every high school’s passing game. The more you can perfect the 3 step drop the more effective of a passer you will become. When working on a 3 step drop imagine you are in the middle of a clock. 12 is straight ahead of you and 6 is right behind you. Your first step should be a drive step, reaching for distance away from the line of scrimmage, and it should land...

4 Cone Footwork With Catch

This drill only requires 2 people, 1 football and 4 cones (or 3 cones and another football). Sprint 5 yards to the first cone, circle around it from the inside to the outside, then side shuffle latterly to the next cone, touch that cone with your outside hand then side shuffle back to the first cone, spin around the cone and back peddle to the third cone, once past it plant and side shuffle to the 4th...

QB Directions Drill

This is a very practical and simple drill for QB’s that works on your mobility in the pocket. All you need is yourself and one other person standing in front of you. Start off by taking either a 3 or 5 step drop, once you get to the end of your drop you should be chopping your feet (foot fire) right underneath your shoulders. At this point the person in front of you can point right, left, forward, or...

4 Ball Wide Receiver Drill

This drill requires at least 4 people and 2 footballs. Have the quarterback 5 yards off the wide receivers line in the middle of the 2 cones. Set 2 cones 10 yards apart with 1 person at each cone to take the ball after you catch the ball from the quarterback. Start on one cone and run latterly towards the 2nd cone as the quarterback passes you a ball in the middle. Quickly catch it (watching it into your...
