Drill Video: 4 Cone Star Drills for DBs

Drill Video: 4 Cone Star Drills for DBs

By: Chad Wilson – All Eyes DB Camp

Getting out of breaks is one of the major moves a defensive back has to make out on the field.  Being proficient at those breaks can be the difference between getting your hands on the ball or having to make a tackle.

In this video,  I discuss just a couple of cone drills that I do with my clients to improve their efficiency out of their breaks and smooth out their hip flips. I have an extensive amount of 4 cone drills but the 4 cone star drills where I place a cone in the middle of the 4 cones is one of my favorites.

In this video,  I run through a few of these drills with NFL free agent Trae Elston and NY Giants cornerback Tony Lippett. I narrate over the video a they perform the drills.  I will be adding more 4 cone drill videos in the future.  For now,  enjoy this one and should you have any feedback or questions,  feel free to contact me at cwilson@alleyesdbcamp.com
