What it is

Chad Wilson teaches the peer step technique for press man coverage, targeting DBs who struggle with receiver releases at the line.

Why it's great

Most press coverage videos focus on hand placement or hip position; Wilson isolates the footwork pattern that lets DBs mirror while maintaining inside leverage. He shows the common error (opening too early) and the correction (stepping with the inside foot first to stay square), which gives coaches a specific cue to fix the breakdown most DBs have.

How to use it in practice

Teach the peer step as a two-count move: inside foot mirrors the receiver's release, back foot follows to keep hips square. Drill it in three stages: walk-through against air, controlled reps against a partner releasing at half speed, then live 1-on-1s. The key coaching point is keeping the inside foot active—most DBs plant it and open their hips too soon.
