📍 Hamilton Huskies·Tuesday, July 7, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the summer heat intensifies, Hamilton Huskies quarterback coach, Mike Johnson, is putting his 6A signal-callers through a crucial drill to refine their drop-back mechanics. The '7-Step Drop' drill consists of three sets of 10 reps each, with a 30-second rest between sets. Players start in a shotgun formation, taking 7 steps back while maintaining a balanced stance. Coach Johnson emphasizes the importance of keeping the eyes on the target, staying relaxed, and using the legs to drive the body back. This drill translates to game performance by improving the quarterback's ability to read the defense and deliver the ball accurately. By mastering the 7-step drop, Huskies QBs can increase their confidence and effectiveness in the pocket.
