What are some drills I can do? What are some lead blocking tips I can catch up on?
Hi Nikko, You are playing a position where you will see lots of action. I really enjoyed playing fullback for one season in high school before moving to tight end. Becoming a good blocker is the key to having success at the position. It starts with a good stance that allows you to move on the snap without taking a false step or standing up in the air. Always take your first step directly at the man you are assigned to block with the foot on that side of your body. Stay low as you move to the defender. Take a direct path to the defender – never move on a path that gives him the opportunity to know which shoulder you are going to use or shows him the direction you want to take him as you create a running lane for the ball carrier. When your assignment is to block the end man on the line toward the sideline, drive your outside shoulder into his inside hip; when your are assigned to drive back to the inside on the formation, you need to drive your inside shoulder into his outside hip.
