Receiving the Handoff - Football Running Back Pro Tips

There are three key factors to help a running back execute a clean handoff from the quarterback: mesh point, pocket and posture. The moment where the running back and quarterback come together is the mesh point. Practice your timing to help get in sync for a smooth football handoff. The pocket is the space that the running back provides the quarterback to place the football. Work on your hand and arm positioning to make a wide pocket. Proper posture is key for a running back. Avoid these football mistakes when strengthening your running back skills. Keep the elbow closest to the quarterback up. Don’t close your arms on the football until it’s placed into the pocket. Reaching out for the football to take if from the quarterback often results in a fumble. LEARN MORE Get expert advice on football with DICK’S Pro Tips: https://protips.dickssportinggoods.co...
