Rae Crowther Classic Two Man Pan Sled - Football Blocking Sled
Description
The Rae Crowther Classic Two Man Pan Sled - known as the Pan Sled - has been the gold standard for teaching offensive line blocking mechanics since its invention in 1932. Designed around the iconic Pan Base, this sled delivers immediate feedback to both coach and player: hit it correctly and you drive it, hit it wrong and it spins away. That real-time accountability is what makes the Classic Two Man the most-used blocking sled at the professional offensive line level today.
Although it accommodates two players, the true power of this sled comes from one-on-one work - driving and controlling the sled solo is the essence of the drill. The curved, narrow "half man" pads have been purposefully designed that way since day one, forcing players to develop precise flipper and shoulder blow delivery, accurate hand placement, and the footwork and body balance needed to control the direction of the pan. With over 90 years of proven effectiveness and a cult-like following among coaches at every level, the Classic Two Man Pan Sled is not a gimmick - it is a legend.

FAQ
What is the difference between the E1 and E2 pads?
The E1 is the standard narrow pad designed for shoulder blow delivery and general hand placement drills - it's the classic choice for teaching foundational blocking mechanics. The E2 pad features a tighter hand fit that forces players to be accurate and powerful in their strike, and allows coaches to visually see whether a player hit correctly. If you want an extra layer of accountability and precision in your hand technique work, the E2 is worth the upgrade.
Can one player use the Two Man Pan Sled, or does it require two players?
One player is actually the primary use case. Driving and controlling the sled with a single player is the essence of the sled - it demands full technique, footwork, and body balance to move it effectively. Two-man drills are also supported, giving coaches flexibility in their practice design, but most of the Crowther Progression drills are performed solo.
How does the Pan Base work and why does it matter?
The Pan Base is a flat, pan-shaped base that will spin away from a player who strikes incorrectly. If a player hits the pad with poor angles, improper blow delivery, or bad footwork, the sled rotates and the player loses control. This gives both the coach and the player immediate, undeniable feedback on every single rep - something that traditional sleds simply don't provide. That honest feedback loop is what makes this sled so effective for teaching the mechanics of blocking.
What is the optional sand bag for?
The optional 85 lb. sand bag lets you add resistance weight to the sled in a targeted way - you can place it exactly where you want it depending on the drill. This is more versatile than placing a heavy bag on the sled and allows coaches to adjust the feel of the sled for different players or progressions. It is sold separately and not included with the standard sled.
Is this sled used by professional NFL teams?
Yes. The Classic Two Man Pan Sled is described as the most-used sled at the professional offensive line level today. It has been in continuous use since its invention in 1932 and has earned a devoted following among offensive line coaches at every level of football, including the NFL.
