The 5-Step Drop With Peyton Manning

This is the latest instructional video from our Peyton Manning clinic. We've already seen the 3-step drop, which is mainly used for short, quick passes. The 5-step drop is traditionally used for longer passes, as it gives more time for the receiver to get down field. Have a look at the master at work.

All right, five step drop. You're going to go here. Watch me. I'm going to go one, two, three, four, five, step up and throw. Walk through that for me real quick. Walk through that. One, two, three, four, five, step up and throw. You got that?

Set, go. One, two, three, four, five. Oh, that's awesome, that's awesome. Good job. Lean forward. There you go.

One, two, three, four, five. C'mon back. That a way. Get up there, That a way. Good move, good move, good move.

Set, go. One, two, three, four, five. Ah, that's okay. That's all right, that's all right. Hey, you want to be balanced now. You want to throw...you want to finish with balance. Don't be falling off to the side. 

Set, go. One, two, three, four, five, let her go. Oh I like it, the out route. I like it. Good throw.

Set, go. One, two, three, four, five. That's all right. Got away from you a little. Hey sometimes, if that ball sails on you, if the ball sails on you, it's because you stepped too wide. If you step wide, that ball's going to sail up in the air. So just take a little short six inch step before you throw. Five step drop and let it go.

Hold on, one at a time here. Fourth and ten, no pressure. If you drop it, we lose the game. But it's no pressure. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. And nobody's watching. There's nobody filming either. Just you and the quarterback. Nobody else, all right?
