Quarterback Option Down the Line Drill

Quarterback Option Down the Line Drill

The key coaching point of this football drill is to remind the quarterback to always roll with the thumb down with each pitch. 

This drill takes your quarterbacks across the width of the football field simulating a pitch for each option.

Each quarterback will work the drill across and back, having pitched the football with his right hand and then his left hand.

Quarterbacks jog through this drill, but, as they master the pitch, they can increase the speed with which they run this drill.
