US Patent 10307655 Football training device and method

A football training device for replicating a defensive rush includes a base frame, a plurality of obstacles extending upward from the base frame, and one or more wheels supporting the base frame. A method of training an offensive football player using the device includes positioning an offensive football player being trained on front of the training device, initiating a drill where the offensive football player carries out a conventional football play, and while the offensive football player carries out the conventional football play, moving the training device, relative to the offensive football player, such that the obstacles simulate a defensive rush toward the offensive player, thereby creating a visual and physical barrier to the completion of the conventional football play.
