Hendricken Hawks' TE Drill: 'Route Runner' Prepares for Fall
📍 Bishop Hendricken Hawks·Tuesday, July 14, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At Bishop Hendricken's summer camp, tight end coach Mike Smith emphasizes the 'Route Runner' drill to refine his players' route-running skills. This drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Players line up 10 yards from the quarterback and perform a series of routes: 5-yard out, 10-yard in, and 15-yard deep. Coaching cues include 'stay low,' 'keep your eyes on the quarterback,' and 'quick release.' This drill translates to game performance by improving reaction time, agility, and ball-tracking skills. By mastering the 'Route Runner,' Hendricken's tight ends will be better equipped to create separation and make plays down the field.
