Quarterback Training - Passing Accuracy

I am a former NFL quarterback and today I want to talk about some more quarterback training.

Recently I had a chance to speak with Coach Rob Spence the quarterback coach for Syracuse University. I asked him what he qualities he looks for in a high school QB when out recruiting. The number one skill he looks for is passing accuracy.

We talked about the ability to throw at set targets when they have passing workouts. He talked about aiming at the left shoulder or right shoulder or the chin on the receivers face.

So quarterbacks should concentrate during your throwing workouts on accuracy. Not how hard you throw it!

Make sure when you go through your passing tree throwing routine to imagine throwing to your correct target.

When throwing to your right aim for the left shoulder if the receiver is running an out or comeback or flag. And aim for the right shoulder if your receiver is running a slant or hitch, post route or a go route.

The same is true if you are throwing to your left. Everything is just the opposite. So concentrate on all of your quarterback training throwing workouts on passing accuracy.

If you are in high school quarterback I recommend throwing no more than three times per week. If you are a QB who is under 8th grade, don't throw more than 2 times per week.

Just for the record coach Spence guided Toledo offense when he coached there to over 474 yards per game and over 35 points per game!
