Athletic drills for wide receivers
Speed, footwork, explosiveness and the ability to slow down separate a receiver who gets open from one who just runs. This page gathers the 47 athletic drills in Route Builder: pure speed, footwork and changes of direction, jumping, deceleration. 41 can be done solo. The equipment stays light: cones, a ladder, mini hurdles, a resistance band. Each drill page gives the steps, the key points and the common mistakes, with a video that opens on its creator's channel. Each drill page also lists the equipment needed and the number of players.
