Cool article on what NFL corners need to have
Asked which drills best represent play on the field, Routt pointed to three. “The ‘W’ drill, because that’s coming out of your break, and how fast can you explode out of there, because I know that’s one thing scouts are really looking for. Then, I’d have to say the three-cone drill, and then, the drill they make you do at the combine where they make you backpedal for 10 yards and then run for 20. Because that’s what happens a lot of times on the field, you know … you’re backpedaling and your receiver is running a 9-route. You’ve got to flip your hips and keep going while facing one direction, and then completely facing the other way. You’ve got to be able to do it quickly, but more importantly, you’ve got to be able to do it smoothly. They want to see how much you can flip your hips, turn, and run.”
