Post / Corner Route Drill

Description

Post and corner routes attack the deep part of the field and require precise timing between QB and WR. This drill develops the footwork to sell a go-route before breaking — and trains QBs to throw with anticipation on deep patterns.

Instructions

1. WR lines up at the LOS.
2. WR runs hard vertical for 8-10 yards.
3. WR plants and breaks toward the goalpost (post) or the corner (corner).
4. QB throws with anticipation — ball is in the air before WR completes the break.
5. Alternate post and corner each rep.

Points to Stress

• Sell the go-route first — the defender has to respect your speed.
• Plant and cut on your outside foot.
• QB: back shoulder on corner, lead inside on post.
• Throw it while they're still running — don't wait for them to look back.
