Increasing the range of motion in your hips is crucial for outside linebackers. The drills in the video below can help you with that.

You may look funny in the gym doing this one, but it works wonders on helping you get the flexibility in your hips that scouts want to see.

If you have an exercise ball at home, you can do this one at home as well, obviously..

This video gives you some additional stretches you can do to stretch out your hip flexor to increase your mobility in your hips.

Disclaimer #2: Again, I'm not a trainer, I just gathered a bunch of training materials that cover drills and exercises that can help you improve in the specific areas that NFL scouts tend to look for when analyzing middle linebackers. Are there any drills that can help middle linebackers get better at these skills that we didn't mention? Share them in the comments!
