Build your backs the Gator way this offseason and see instant results. A true student of the game, Brian White takes you through what he believes is the most important thing you can get out of a clinic - drills! Coach White shares various drills that can be used daily to build a better running back.

The first section of drills focuses on protecting the football. Coach White stresses the importance of emphasizing the fundamental aspects of ball security. Using practice video footage, Coach White shares a drill circuit that he uses with his own running backs to help improve ball security. The circuit features handoff and ball security drills to train hand position as well as techniques for holding the ball properly and securely.

He expands on footwork, showing ways to eliminate false steps from a running back's takeoff, how to avoid a sideline tackle, and various other moves like the spin and jump cut. His drills will help any running back expand his portfolio of moves, which will make him more different to tackle.
