BIG BODY RECEIVERS
• Box the DB out on deep balls
• be PHYSICAL & use your strength
• always high point the football
CMC uses patience to his advantage on this option route.
The defender knows he has the ability to break in or out. As CMC is using tempo, the DB is getting impatient and will jump on the first move CMC makes
Randy Moss explains why there is a benefit to catching the ball with one hand! Yes NFL WR’s train one handed catches!
1st clip - you can see Rafferty slightly dip his chest & shoulders before exploding out. Although it’s an explosive release, it is wasted movement.
2nd clip - I coached him to lower his chest in his stance. You can see he does not sync down because he’s already low
Every coach looks for a playmaker at wide receiver. Play makers do more than just running good routes and catching the ball. Play makers can turn a 5 yard hitch into a 65 yard catch and run. BE DIFFERENT
Breakdowns are one of the hardest parts of route running — and the only way to truly master them is reps. You can’t just expect to hit a clean, full-speed break without drilling each piece of it over and over.
That’s why I split it up into progressions working on every part
Beginner ladder drills 🔑 for WRs. Building foot coordination, balance, and rhythm — the foundation for clean routes and quick cuts. Master the basics before you speed it up. 🏃♂️💨 #WRDrills #Footwork #LadderDrills #WideReceiver
Everyone wants to make the highlight reel catches — but not many people realize what really goes into consistently catching the football at a high level.
In 6 years of Division 1 football, I had 6 career drops on over 110 catches. That didn’t happen by accident. Every single day
my teammates and I would spend hours on the Juggs machine — thousands and thousands of reps — training our hands and eyes to react automatically. We didn’t stop there. We also incorporated one-eye drills, isolating each eye to train visual processing and hand-eye coordination at
the highest level. If the ball touches my hands, I expect to catch it.
Catching is the #1 job as a receiver. It doesn’t matter how good your release is, how crisp your route is, or how open you get — if you can’t finish the play, none of it matters. Anyone can work on it!!
A THREAD!
One of the biggest differences in sideline catches from HS/College to the NFL comes down to footwork rules:
HS/College: You only need 1 foot in bounds. Most WRs get away with jumping, catching, and just getting one foot down — sometimes even sacrificing body control.
full speed, with DBs draped on you, and the QB putting it only where YOU can get it — sometimes inches from being OB.
💡 Drill at the end:
We rep this by simulating a comeback route break. The QB throws the ball as far out of bounds as possible while still giving you a shot.
