Drills Report – Advanced Wide Receiver Drills, Part I

I am always looking for effective drills that my receivers can use to make them better. I think it’s important to think through drills before you use them and make sure they reinforce the technique utilized in a game and the technique utilized within your offense. Your players will be able to tell you how certain drills reinforce situations that come up in a game. That’s when you know you are using the correct drills.I always try to get as much out of a drill as I can. When we are doing drills to improve catching the football, we will also put emphasis on route running. We only run the last five yards of the route, but we stress sticking and turning the plant foot, weight over the knee with butt out, and running the arms through the cut. If the receiver doesn’t do this, I don’t throw him the ball. They will eventually get the message.Drills cannot be taken lightly. Each
