Tollgate Titans QBs Prepare for Season with 'Quick Release' Drill
Quarterbacks at top Div I programs like Tollgate Titans are gearing up for the upcoming season with a specific drill designed to improve their quick release. The 'Quick Release' drill involves QBs standing 5 yards behind a line, with a coach or trainer holding a football at chest level. On the whistle, the QB must quickly drop back and release the ball to the target, aiming for a spot 10 yards downfield. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest in between sets. Coaching cues include 'eyes on the target' and 'snap to release.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing QBs to develop a consistent, rapid release under pressure, making them more effective in read-option plays and quick passes. By incorporating this drill into their pre-season training, Tollgate Titans QBs will be well-equipped to take on the competition this fall.
