2) At the beginning of individual drills, the offensive line worked on recovering fumbles. It’s a sort of “in case of emergency” drill, but ball security is important, and things do happen. The OLs were working in pairs, with one rolling a ball toward the other, and the second fielding the ball by getting on the ground and tucking it.
