NASHVILLE, Tenn. – You’ve regularly seen video of a standard quarterback footwork drill: Five long, narrow pads are on the ground spaced out like ebony piano keys. Signal-callers weave through them, up, and back, side to side, keeping their eyes downfield.
During Titans minicamps, those pads were occasionally turned a different direction, creating a lane for quarterbacks to straddle.
Quarterback coach Pat O’Hara pointed to make QBs change directions and then to instruct them where to throw.
It was the clearest example of Marcus Mariota’s work on widening his base.
