Drill Explanations: 40 - 40 Yard Dash The 40 yard dash is a test of speed, power, explosion, and a little bit of conditioning. Each player will be measured by the one hundreth of a second and how long it takes you to complete a 40 yard sprint. The Drill: From a three-point stance, a player runs 40 yards as fast as he can. Players get laser times (if available) as well as hand-held times (by FORME personnel using stopwatches). What it tests: Pure speed from Point A to Point B. PA - Pro Agility (aka 20 Yard Shuttle) The Pro Agility, or 20 yard shuttle as it is sometimes called, is one of the most underrated tests at the combine. The Pro Agility is a test of speed, explosion, and changing of directions. Technique is also important here. Each player will be timed by seconds in how fast they can go 5 yards to their left, then 10 back to the right, and finishing 5 yards to their left in one straight line. The Drill: The player straddles a yard line and puts one hand down in a three-point stance. He can start by going either right or left. Let´s say he starts at the 5, with the goal line to his right. He runs 5 yards to his right and touches the goal line with his right hand. He then runs 10 yards to his left and touches the 10-yard line with his left hand. He finishes by running back to the 5. What it tests: Lateral quickness, coordination and change of direction. 3CD - 3 Cone Drill The 3 Cone Drill is the newest addition to the NFL scouting combine, replacing the “4 Cone” or “Box” drill. The 3 cone drill is also a test of speed, explosion, and changing directions. Each player will be timed by seconds in how fast they can sprint ten yards, back, back again and around a third cone parallel to the 2nd. The Drill: Three orange cones are placed on the field forming an "L." Cone 1 is at the end of the L, Cone 2 is at the corner of the L and Cone 3 is at the top of the L. There are 5 yards between each cone. The player starts by getting down in a three-point stance next to Cone 1. He runs to Cone 2, bends down and touches a line with his right hand. Then he turns and runs back to Cone 1, bends down and touches that line with his right hand. Then he runs back to Cone 2 and around the outside of it, weaves inside Cone 3 (as if he were running a figure eight), then cuts tightly around the outside of Cones 3 and 2 before finishing at Cone 1 in a full sprint. What it tests: Speed, quickness, flexibility, change of direction, body control. VJ - Vertical Jump The vertical jump isn’t really the most important test for football players. It is basically a test of explosion and power. Technique is huge here. Each player will be tested by a machine that will measure how high your fingers touch when going directly up in the air. The vertical jump is the most important for receivers and defensive backs. The Drill: Years ago, players jumped up to touch a wall that was marked in blue chalk. Now, the player stands flat-footed and raises his arm straight up and that number is recorded prior to jumping (that number is the Rch on the pdf sheets). The player then jumps straight up and hits as many plastic flags as he can. The flags are spaced ½” apart and rotate when hit. Take that number, subtract it from the Rch number, and you have the players vertical jump number. What it tests: Vertical leg explosion. BP - Bench Press The bench press is the biggest test of upper body strength out there. It also will test conditioning. Each player must bench press 185 lbs. as many reps as they can. The bench press is the most important for offensive and defensive linemen. The Drill: The player lies on a weight bench and lifts a straight bar weighing 185lbs as many times as he can. He has to lower it to his chest and lock out his arms each time to count as a legitimate repetition. What it tests: Strength and conditioning. MBT - Medicine Ball Throw The bench press is the biggest test of upper body strength out there. It also will test conditioning. Each player must bench press 185 lbs. as many reps as they can. The bench press is the most important for offensive and defensive linemen. The Drill: The Player kneels at a line with the feet tucked under buttocks and facing the direction to which the ball is to be thrown. The ball is held with the hands on the side and slightly behind the center. The throwing action is similar to that used for a soccer sideline throw-in. The ball is brought back behind the head, then thrown vigorously forward as far as possible. The subject is permitted to extend hips forward as the ball is released, and is in fact encouraged to do so in maximizing the distance of the throw. Three attempts are allowed. What it tests: measures upper body strength and explosive power. Drill Explanations from: Scout.Com
