This is a great conditioning drill in college football coaching for your big guys, and it also gets them used to firing out and driving their blocks.
What you need – As you can guess by the name, you will need a hill for this drill. You will need an offensive lineman and 2 defensive linemen for this football drill as well. If you don’t want your defensive linemen in this drill, any players with arm shield (blocking dummies) will suffice.
How this drill works – The coach will inform the offensive linemen of the snap count and when the ball is snapped, the O-lineman will fire out and drive the defender up the hill. The defender will resist, but they will not fight by the O-lineman.
After driving for about 5 yards, the D-lineman releases, and then the O-lineman engages the next blocker by firing out and driving them up the remainder of the hill. This is a fantastic conditioning drill for your offensive linemen. Not only that, but it provides a great deal of resistance that will build power in their drive blocks.
Result – Your offensive linemen will probably hate you every time you run this drill, but they are going to be much better linemen because of it. This drill will make their drive blocking explode into defensive linemen.
