Do you notice his head snap back slightly at the catch point? This is because the ball is above his head level. Should his eyes remain level, he’ll lose sight of it. String from nose to ball.

Every time you hear Davante talk about releases, he talks about having a plan. We have to have some idea of what we are going to do once the ball is snapped. The elite separate themselves in how effectively they react to what the DB presents post-snap.

No music needed, just the rhythm of the break. Slant / Sluggo day for the college guys, so we did this hard break circuit as an extension of the warm-up: 1) Short Drop to 45 2) 45 w/ approach 3) Live Top 45 You can hear an efficient breakpoint; don’t even need to see it.
