Three-cone drill

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The three-cone drill, 3-cone drill or L-drill is a test performed by

offensive line players.[1] The drill was invented by football scout C. O. Brocato.[2]

The drill

Three cones are placed five yards apart from each other forming a right angle. The athlete starts with one hand down on the ground and runs to the middle cone and touches it. The player then reverses direction back to the starting cone and touches it. The athlete reverses direction again but this time runs around the outside of the middle cone on the way to the far cone running around it in figure eight fashion on his way back around the outside of the middle cornering cone. Athletes are timed for this whole procedure. This drill is primarily used to determine a player's agility.[3]
