Stick Draw RPO

X’S & O’S: STICK DRAW RPO was first published by AFCA Insider in conjunction with Just Play Sports Solutions. 

The Stick Draw RPO is one of the most popular RPOs in the game of football. This play is much like other RPOs in that it runs through the same progression.

You don’t need to alter your offensive philosophy to include the Stick Draw RPO, and because most offenses have this concept installed, you don’t need to spend tons of practice time repping it. Just add your run option to it, develop your mesh between quarterback and running back, and work on the quarterback’s footwork to make sure he releases the football on the first step off the mesh.
