Play overview

The RB Sweep Pass is one of the most lethal trick plays possible if you have a Running Back that can throw the ball.

Set up the play by making the backfield action look exactly like 28 Sweep. Then, when the entire defense is crashing down towards the sweep, have the Running Back settle down and throw up a ball to the Wingback who should be wide open behind everyone downfield.

How to install RB Sweep Pass (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 Running Back 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.
