WR Drills with Odell Beckham Jr. to Improve Catching & Route Running · Play Football

What it is

Three WR drills from OBJ covering hand-eye coordination, route footwork, and reaction time—suitable for any skill level.

Why it's great

Unlike highlight reels, this shows fundamental drills an NFL player actually uses, not trick catches. The tennis ball drill for tracking and the line drill for footwork precision are both easily replicated and scale from youth to varsity. Short runtime means you can watch it during practice prep.

How to use it in practice

Use the tennis ball drill as a warmup: coach tosses at varying heights while receiver works different catch points. Progress the line drill from walk-through route stems to full speed with direction changes. Finish with the catching drill using hard throws at the numbers to build confidence.
