I’m actually working towards WR this year yes I know first year to play football! But I’ve been watching your content for the last 2 years and I’ve learned so much everyday I’m outside I run 100 yards a day! This is just amazing how much progress I’ve made from watching your content you’ve taught me how to push a DB off his platform, how to get away from a DB, and cuts, slants, releases, etc. Thank you so much!! Even if I don’t make the position I’ll still work hard for it next year

[@firstdowntraining]

Appreciate you man! Thank you so much for the support and I’m really glad the content has been able to help you

I watched this video 4 years after it was released, and it has helped quite a bit. To the all mighty Coach Grant, thanks you. And to all you average joes, you better support this guy, he's a legend.

[@firstdowntraining]

Thank you as always bro! This was a long time ago lol- this was short hair coach Grant

[@FootballFanatic69697]

@@firstdowntraining Real lol. Hey Idk if you'll be able to respond to this or not, but thank you for making these videos, truly. You're a great coach.

[@stevengriffin5349]

Yeah good stuff - as Collage WR from 70’s couple things ; Used sprinter 3 point stance to get off line fast and low ( not sure how all standing is best ) The same look off the line is a variable - When DB is lining up off center to take away one side , i would drive toward him to get head up , NOW he has to honor the fake ( you are setting him up cut ) Other was collision, I literally crash into DB , blow em on heels ; especially on curl / come back routes

It's my first time coaching and yes, I'm a girl, but I have a couple things going for me...a lifetime of love for football and the awareness to watch people like you to get all the tips I don't know about. I have no doubt your knowledge will help our team this year. Keep them coming because I'm watching and downloading them.

Yessir let me know how you do!

[@shhlump]

thanks for the help!

[@louisianasportstalk7169]

I have a question how do you win 1 on 2 jump balls or if you are running an post and to got a step or two and your qb is a second late and you go up for the ball how do you be more aggressive in the air

[@firstdowntraining]

Quincy for announcer LSU #1 in my opinion that’s more of a mindset thing. You need to be violent when you go up and high point the ball and go up with a strong grip to it. Also when you secure the ball make sure you protect it right away to make sure it doesn’t get knocked out

[@Flame-vr3tc]

This is the best video ever, wider receiver for life

That snap down metheod is vital for separation at the college level.

[@firstdowntraining]

Justin Lawrence 100% agree

[@matttully3178]

I've seen both methods used. Snap down is pretty difficult at higher speeds to do correctly and effectively.

[@robertvasquez3340]

Respect! Nice work coach! U tell your kid this stuff...they're like " ok dad, sure".....Then you go to look up reciever tips with them and it shows the exact same sht you were just telling them...." ok dad, I see you" 😆

[@danoly215]

Can you also explain how to practice a hitch on your out routes Like when you make your break on your out routes teach us how to get low play the drums turn and explode out of it

[@firstdowntraining]

2124 Holley yeah I have a lot of other videos explaining that on this channel under my “receiver” playlist you should definitely check them out because I am against beating the drum that is slow I want you snapping down and creating energy at the top of the routeb

[@kendricksconstructionco]

My only problem is I get a little nervous when it’s like a field goal slant route bc I don’t catch quite a few of em because my qb tries to beam me head off

[@jato337]

Can you please evaluate my highlight tape in the comments, i would greatly appreciate the feedback. I am a student athlete at Florida Memorial University currently with two seasons of eligibility remaining. I played at Southeast Missouri State University from 2017-2019 and ended up transferring because i was backing up a NFL WR who currently plays for the Las Vegas Raiders (Kristian Wilkerson) I studied his game and personally felt like I surpassed him by the start of my junior season. One thing is for sure I got stronger than him in the weigh room and faster than him. I felt as if I could start at slot or the other WR however the coaches did not see the same vision and they wanted depth at the X WR in case the star WR got injured because he got a ton of targets. I ended up redshirting 4 games into my junior season and retained that season of eligibility and transferred to The University of West Florida in 2020. The pandemic canceled that season and I got injured the following season. I did not like how the program treated me after the injury i felt as I was just a slave to them they didnt care about my well being. Also my father, grandmother, a close friend and my dog passed away while i was at UWF in a time span of about 8 months. This made me realize i need out the situation and transferred closer to Broward country which is my hometown to be closer to my mother and simplify things to give myself the best shot to make it to the next level. I transferred to Florida Memorial University in 2022 however despite the fact i came there fully eligible the i was deemed ineligible for the 2022 season because of the transfer rules. However i retained two seasons of eligibility and i will make my return this year. Please check me out if you get a chance.

Why wouldn’t you always look over his outside shoulder

Escot Presscot how do you mean? Video was a while ago so I don’t remember exactly what I said

[@escotpresscot7898]

First Down Training you said to make everything look like a fade but in the video you said you could look over both shoulders depending on the route. Shouldn’t you always look over the outside shoulder to make it look like a fade.

[@firstdowntraining]

Escot Presscot oh, like I’m certain routes like a deep out or a comeback looking over the inside shoulder can t the DB to turn inside against zone but most of the time I say outside shoulder
