Answer 1

like you i play DE and have had a very decent year this past year. and in order the get better some exercises you should do is you need to gain upper body strength and work on your reaction times to get off the ball. also work on being able to dip your shoulder to get around the RT. Also you should work on being able to box- working on the box is important because if the running back or QB gets out to the corner you need to able to prevent that. hope this helps lemme kno if u need more detiarls
