Drill Explanations from: The
Redzone:
SH - 20 Yard Shuttle
The 20 yard shuttle is one of the most underrated tests at the combine. The
20 yard shuttle is a test of speed, explosion, and changing of directions.
Technique is also important here. Each prospect will be timed by seconds in how
fast they can go 5 yards to their left, then 10 back to the right, and finishing
5 yards to their left in one straight line.
The Drill: The player straddles a yard line and puts one hand down in a
three-point stance. He can start by going either right or left. Let's say he
starts at the 5, with the goal line to his right. He runs 5 yards to his right
and touches the goal line with his right hand. He then runs 10 yards to his left
and touches the 10-yard line with his left hand. He finishes by running back to
the 5.
What it tests: Lateral quickness, coordination and change of direction.
LS - 60 Yard Long Shuttle
This is a ladder shuttle of progressing distances. Three marker cones are
placed at the yard lines 5 yards apart. The athlete starts from one end, runs 5
yards and back to the start, 10 yards and back, then 15 yards and finishes at
the start line. A total of 60 yards is completed. The player is required to
touch the line with their hand at each turn, for a total of five touches.
What it tests: anaerobic speed endurance.
40 - 40 Yard Dash
The 40 yard dash is a test of speed, power, explosion, and a little bit of
conditioning. Each prospect will be measured by the second and how long it takes
you to complete a 40 yard sprint.
The Drill: From a three-point stance, a player runs 40 yards as fast as he can.
Players get hand-held times (by scouts using stopwatches)
What it tests: Pure speed from Point A to Point B under ideal conditions
(indoors, AstroTurf, no weather obstacles).
