hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over
some of the differences between the three and the five step drop
as well as some of the common errors that we'll see when doing the three and five slip
drops so you can clean that up for yourself and we're gonna hop in the video right now
all right so we're going to start with the three step drop and really get into some of the
fundamentals behind it i would say the first thing that's going to be most important when it comes
to the three-step drop is getting separation from the center when you're starting off so when you're
going back you really want to make sure that you are getting plenty of distance here within that
first step that ends up being really the most important part of the three step drop is being
able to get plenty of different distance as you're going and then it's gonna be so it's one big step
and then two quick steps afterwards one two three and then you're going to be throwing from now an
important part with the three-step drop that you just want to be able to understand is that
when you are throwing it to either the right side or the left side really dictates a lot of where
that back foot should end up pointing so when i'm throwing it to the left side i'm going to end up
kind of turning my foot there so then i can get that foot down and be able to open up correctly
there now and then with the right side i'm going to end up kind of closing off that foot a little
bit more there so that ends up being some of the differences between throwing it to the left and
throwing it to the right one of the things i want you to really understand and really to really take
note of when going through the three and the five step drop um is you know just the drops in general
is that when you get back to that the the end of the drop and you begin to open up what i commonly
see is that when quarterbacks do this uh there's a tendency to really fling open that front shoulder
right especially when if you're right-handed quarterback throwing to your left side or
left-handed quarterback throwing it to your right side when you get back to that the end of the drop
and you're going here a tendency to really fly open with that that arm here and allow a lot of
the weight to go off to the side so just make sure that you understand what you're doing as you're
going through that drop back with that front arm where you're pushing off that back leg keeping
that front arm closed and keeping that front hand close to your pec to make it so that you can get
plenty of rotation in the throw what happens is when you open up that front hand is that
now you're going to take away the rotation and you're going to take away that balance you have
as you're going through and it's going to affect the accuracy and quick interruption just to say

a ton subscribe channel if you haven't already and if any questions comments recommendations leave
them down below or hop right back in the video now the main difference between the three and the five
step drop ends up being the separation from the center so when you're doing the three step drop
what's most important is that first step and then one two and then the next two are going to be
quickly gathering or when you go through the five step drop it's going to be three big steps and
then those last two gatherings so now it's going to be one two three four five okay so now you want
to try to get as much distance as you can within that first step right and make sure that when
you're doing this that you're not crossing over so that first step doesn't want to be back behind
you here it wants to be straight back to three four five okay so three big where you're trying
to pick up as much face and a quick last five as you're getting going and it's the same thing
when you get to that back step and understanding where you're going to be throwing off that foot
to be able to get you set up so if i'm going to the left i want to be able to turn here
as i'm getting going and if i'm going to the right it's the same idea with 245 and you're
pushing out that back leg now i recently did a breakdown to really go into that back leg
and how you want to be able to gather through there and push off and the reality of it is
you don't have a ton of time back there you want to use that back foot to be able to gather
and understand how to absorb through there but you can't allow too much of your weight to get onto
that back leg where then you can't push off of it and get good rotation so it's really important
to be able to control through that back leg but also right away be able to generate force off that
back leg and initiate that rotation within the hips in order to make sure you're able to throw
the ball really well there's a lot of complexities that go into playing the quarterback position well
and yeah it's important to be able to have a lot of power and be able to throw the ball really far
but if you don't have a great understanding of the drop backs and how to be able to
generate force out of your body as you're going through the three-step drop in the five-step drop
that really makes a big impression on coaches that are looking to recruit you right it takes
a lot of time to be able to coach somebody how to go through those drop backs correctly
and you know quite frankly when it comes to top d1 colleges they're not looking to be able to
really spend that type of time to be able to do that they want to see somebody that's already
polished in those very fundamental areas of being a quarterback and so it really makes a big
impression if you go in there and you already have a great understanding of how to do some of those
drop backs and even from a run game perspective make sure that you're able to get to the
stretch in the inside zone and just have a great understanding of how to be a quarterback and so
you really want to work on throwing the football for sure but also work on some of these parts that
you know could also save your arm right you don't always have to be throwing the ball a
hundred times a day you could also just be working on some of the key parts of your drop back that
could make a big difference and give you a good workout at the same time so if you guys want to
