TRAINING
Quarterback Pocket Footwork: A Drill for Duxbury Green Dragons
📍 Duxbury Green Dragons·Wednesday, July 22, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the Duxbury Green Dragons prepare for the upcoming season, quarterback pocket footwork is a crucial aspect of their training. To improve their ability to move within the pocket and avoid sacks, the team will be incorporating a specific drill into their summer camp. The 'Box Drill' involves setting up a 5x5 foot box on the field, with cones marking the edges. Quarterbacks will start at one corner of the box and perform a series of 3 sets of 5 reps, moving laterally, forward, and backward within the box. Coaching cues will emphasize quick feet, balance, and staying low. This drill translates to game performance by allowing quarterbacks to develop the agility and spatial awareness necessary to evade defenders and make plays under pressure.
