NFL Cornerback: How To Play Cornerback; Press Technique #2

Here is one of the press techniques that was very consistent when I used it at the right time.

Understanding when to use certain techniques in the football game is very important. Practicing situations in football is extremely important, and I learned that from Ohio University’s head coach, Frank Solich and it carried on in the NFL. Before you can really know what you would do in the game, you should have practiced it over and over on the practice field. This was key in my man to man coverage.
