Play overview

The RB Sweep Throwback is a deadly trick play for when you have the unique combination of a Running Back who can throw and a Quarterback who can catch.

Set up the play to look like a normal Sweep, but slyly send your QB to the empty side of the field after he pitches the ball. If the Running Back has time to stop his momentum and throw the ball back across the field to the Quarterback, you can almost surely count on adding points to the scoreboard.

How to install RB Sweep Throwback (Wing-T)

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

  1. Walk the Wing T 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.
