Crossers are hard to cover man to man. First look: Yellow, then Blue.
Who does what
- QB
Hike it to yourself, take three steps back. Watch the crossers. Throw to whoever is open first.
- YYellow
3 steps up, then run across the field low.
- BBlue
5 steps up, then run across the field, a little higher than Yellow.
- OOrange
Run up 10 steps, then angle to the corner.
- PPurple
Ten steps up, then break to the left corner.
Coach card
What to say
- Yellow crosses low, Blue crosses higher. Never at the same height.
- Keep running after you cross. Do not stop in traffic.
- QB: throw to the first one who comes open.
Watch for
The two crossers bump into each other or both stop in the middle.
If it breaks down, say
Yellow low, Blue high, keep moving!
Drill · 5 minutes · Crossing lanes
Cones at 3 and 5 steps on opposite sides. Two receivers cross at the same time, each at their own height. Walk it twice, then run it. Add the QB.
