Wide Receiver Training for Beginners: How To Run Better Speed Cuts

What's going on receivers. Boost your 90° speed cuts with this drill.

Want to nail those sharp 90° cuts with speed? This drill is your go-to for improving your speed cuts, ensuring you change direction swiftly without tipping off the defender.

Here’s how it works:

Plant & Cut: Accelerate to your landmark, plant your foot firmly, and explode into your cut with maximum speed.

Sell the Route: Don’t give away your move—fake the deep route to throw off the defender, then burst out of your cut.

Speed Arc Drill: Start with a solid plant, then make a slight rounded break, and finally flatten out your path. Focus on finishing strong with a negative break out of the cut.

Progression Tips:

Adjust Your Step Count: Increase the distance, speed, and challenge by varying your step counts in the drill. Incorporate this drill into your routine to enhance your cutting speed and precision. Let’s take your route-running to the next level.
