Defensive backs have to be able to come out of their breaks and react to the offense. Go through this drill to maintain explosiveness.
Instructions:
1. Start at left end of the ladder. On command, begin moving laterally down the line.
2. Make sure the right foot steps inside the ladder, while the left foot hits the outside, front and back.
3. Steps should be fast and explosive.
4. Repeat drill, alternating the “same-in” foot.
Tip: If ladder isn’t available, you can simply perform the drill down a line.
