Play overview

The Quarterback should take a five-step drop and linger in an upright passing position until his backs have passed in front of his line of sight. Once his backs are in front of him as lead blockers, he should stick his back foot in the ground and drive down hard behind them, looking for where the hole is naturally opening up in the center of the line of scrimmage.

A good pass fake can create some space and separation at the line of scrimmage as the defensive backfield backs up in fear of a downfield pass.

How to install 12 QB Draw (I)

Use this teaching progression for youth football practice — walk-through first, then live reps.

  1. Walk the I alignment on air — every player finds their landmark before the snap.
  2. Teach the Quarterback assignment first from the diagram, then layer the rest of the call.
  3. Rehearse the mesh or handoff at walk-through tempo until timing is automatic.
  4. Add a scout look (or cones) that matches when you want to call this play in a game.
  5. Script 4–6 live reps, then export the diagram for your staff chat or install sheet.

Coaching tips for youth teams

  • Keep language identical on the practice field and in the huddle — one name, one job.
  • Film the first live reps; pause on the landmark, not just the ball.
  • Pair this with a complementary play from the same formation so defenses cannot key one look.
  • If outside contain is soft, keep a sweep or toss in the same personnel as a change-up.
