In football, a quarterback’s ability to move and throw accurately is just as important as their ability to throw from a static position. The Quarterback Movement Drills in the Commanders Challenge are designed to evaluate and enhance this crucial aspect of quarterback play. The ability to execute accurate passes while on the move is a test of a quarterback’s agility, control, and precision. The Quarterback Movement Drills assess these dynamic skills.
