Watch as Coach Dennis Simmons explains and shows practice video of this 'competitive catches' drill for receivers. Unlike individual or jugs work, the receivers have defenders around them raking at the ball. The drill does not need to be high-tempo and the focus should be on working technique. Coach shows different variations of the drill including catching the ball in traffic at its highest point versus 2 defenders.
