Defensive Back Drills

Written By: Gridiron Elite Training

Adding defensive back drills to your training will help improve your technique, footwork, and man-to-man pass coverage skills to help take your game to the next level.

Football has evolved into a pass-first game. Most teams have abandoned the old-school wing-t and i-formation to run a spread offense.

As a defensive back, your coverage skills need to be precise! You’re the last line of defense. It’s you and behind you… the end zone. 

You need to know what coverage you’re in on every play and communicate with your safeties and cornerbacks to ensure everyone is on the same page. 

As a defensive back, your primary goal is to read pass first, but once you confirm it’s a run play, you need to react quickly to help your teammates and get into the play to make a tackle to stop the run.
