From Rick…
Quarterback Drill:

Boot/Sprint Out and Throw (20 passes)
Two quarterbacks start (one with a football) facing each other 10 yards apart but staggered so one quarterback is 15 yards to the right of the quarterback with the ball. The football coach stands roughly equidistant between both quarterbacks.  Concentrate on speed on getting back. Get depth, step up and throw to a target

The quarterback with the ball faces forward in an “under center” position. On the coach’s command the quarterback executes a bootleg, faking a handoff to his left, and then bootlegging to his right and throwing the ball to his partner quarterback. The quarterback who just completed the throw returns to his original position. The coach turns around and has the partner quarterback execute the football drill.

Once the boot phase is completed the quarterbacks complete the drill using sprint out techniques. Then both quarterbacks move ten yards up field and turn around so they can execute the drill to the left side.

This continues until the coach determines a sufficient amount of repetitions have been completed.
