DeMatha Catholic Stags CBs: Master the 'Mirror Man' Drill
📍 DeMatha Catholic Stags·Sunday, July 19, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
To improve reaction time and footwork, DeMatha Catholic Stags cornerbacks will be running the 'Mirror Man' drill during summer camp. This drill requires a defensive back to mirror the movements of a receiver, while maintaining a 5-yard cushion. The receiver will start at the line of scrimmage and run a 5-yard out route. The defensive back must react quickly to the receiver's movement and stay in phase. The drill will be performed in sets of 3 reps, with 30 seconds of rest in between. Coaching cues will include 'mirror the receiver's hips' and 'stay on their toes.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing cornerbacks to develop the quick reactions and agility needed to stay with receivers on out routes and slants.
