Blocking drills for wide receivers
Receivers block a lot: on run plays, quick passes and screens, a good block opens the way for the ball carrier. This page gathers the 27 blocking drills in Route Builder: stance and hand work, the stalk block on a defender in coverage, blocking on the move. Only 4 can be done solo: blocking usually needs a partner, a wall, a bag or cones. Each drill page gives the steps, the key points and the common mistakes, with a video on its creator's channel.
