Route Perfection — 5 Route Drill

Route Runningintermediate20 min2+ players

Description

Running 5 different routes in rapid succession trains both the QB and WR to execute each pattern with precision. This drill builds route-running muscle memory and QB timing in a single focused session.

Instructions

  1. WR lines up at the LOS.
  2. WR runs a slant route. QB throws. Reset.
  3. WR runs an out route. QB throws. Reset.
  4. WR runs a curl route. QB throws. Reset.
  5. WR runs a post route. QB throws. Reset.
  6. WR runs a corner route. QB throws. Reset.
  7. Rotate WR. Repeat full sequence.

Points to Stress

  • Sell the route before the break — make the defender think you're going somewhere else.
  • Drive off your plant foot hard at every break.
  • Hit the exact depth before you cut — don't cut early.
  • QB: trust the route, throw to the spot.
