No football team can move the ball consistently without a capable offensive line. As an offensive lineman, you must be ready to make and maintain the right block for every play. Strength training will help you muscle opponents out of the way, but offensive linemen also need to be quick on their feet. In IMG Academy's 3 Offensive Line Drills to Be A Better Offensive Lineman video, our coaches teach techniques that will increase your agility and improve your overall performance so you’re game day ready.
What You’ll Learn
In this video, you will be introduced to three football drills to become a better offensive lineman. Watch how student-athletes perform each drill, paying attention to the footwork and body positioning that neutralizes defenders. Former NFL lineman and IMG Academy football coach Greg Hegamin breaks down three exercises that will put any offensive lineman in position to succeed:
- Stance and Starts
- Footwork and Hand Positions
- Fit and Finish Drive
The Stance and Starts drill focuses on the importance of proper posture, footwork, and tempo.
The Footwork and Hand Positions drill uses a ball to emphasize the need for correct hand and hip positions while making the block.
The final drill, the Fit and Finish Drive, shows how to combine the right footwork with the proper hand position and using the hips to finish the play.
