Execution

1. The receiver turns his back and on command by the quarterback – you can just use the term “ball” – he’ll turn around and catch the ball.
2. Each receiver takes a shot trying to emphasize getting the head around, reaching out, catching, and tucking.
3. We want to always emphasize tucking the football after we catch it.
4. Ball security is the number one priority after you receive the football.
