The Quarterback Read and React Footwork Drill is designed to help train your quarterback to maneuver around the pocket while reading and reacting to oncoming defensive pressure.

This drill is executed by using 2 virtual mobile players as defensive pass rushers looking to pressure the QB. The QB, standing behind his O-line, will efficiently move around the pocket and avoid the rushers while making an accurate throw to a receiver or keep the ball himself and run.
