Coming up with new ideas for football passing drills can sometimes be a challenge. Here’s a tip that Darryl, one of my subscribers, sent to me.

O-line pass protection football drill: Let’s Dance
Each lineman has a partner. The linemen face each other, with the lead dancer(Offensive Lineman) in the “sitting in the chair” position, with his hands locked behind him. On the voice command of the football coach (who is standing behind the O-linemen), the d-linemen move from side to side.
The O-linemen have to keep their hands locked behind them, while “shadowing” the movement of the d-linemen. The O-linemen have to keep their heads up and their butts in the “chair”.
The key is to get the O-linemen to follow the hips of the D-linemen with their eyes. Wherever the hips go, the defender goes.
We do this football drill on a daily basis with our O-linemen, and it really helps them in pass protection.
