Three-Step & Five-Step Drop Quarterback Drills
Three-Step & Five-Step Drop Quarterback Drills
In today’s video blog post, we are highlighting Three-Step & Five-Step Drop Quarterback Drills. Drop Quarterback drills are excellent because your quarterback can work on those deeper passes, and the receivers work more time deeper in the field.
The 3 Step Drop
The 3 Step Drop allows us to send our receivers up field a little bit deeper (6-8 yards) before they have to break their different routes.
- The basics at this level:
- Quarterback gets the ball
- QB gets back in the pocket…
- …sets his foot
- …and steps in the direction he is going to throw
- Going to the left, you have to open the hips a little bit, and make sure you’re stepping in the direction you want to throw.
The 5 Step Drop
In youth football, the 5 Step Drop can be used to really move you up the field. If you have a quarterback who has a really strong arm, this is a good depth to drop.
**But, you don’t NEED this – you could get by perfectly well with a one step or three step drop, and then getting the quarterback out of the pocket on a sprint out.
