CB Blitz: 3-Step Drill for 6A-I Cornerbacks
📍 Owasso Rams·Sunday, July 5, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At top 6A-I programs like Owasso Rams, cornerbacks must be prepared to cover the opponent's best receiver. To improve reaction time and footwork, we recommend the 3-Step Drill. Set up cones in a zig-zag pattern, 5 yards apart. Have the CB start at the first cone, then perform three quick steps: a lateral step to the left, a forward step, and a plant step to the right. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps. Coaching cue: 'Quick feet, not big feet.' Focus on explosive acceleration and deceleration. This drill translates to game performance by allowing CBs to quickly change direction and stay in phase with receivers. It also improves their ability to read the quarterback's eyes and anticipate the ball.
