Rogers Athletic Big Brutus Hanging Dummy Football Sled

Description

The Big Brutus Hanging Dummy from Rogers Athletic is a heavy-duty football training sled designed to sharpen the technique of both offensive and defensive linemen. Offensive players can develop lockout extension, punch technique, and proper body positioning while maintaining footwork throughout the full duration of a pass set drill. Defensively, players can practice the wrong shoulder technique, defeat trap blocks, spill kick-out blocks, and make escape moves to find the ball. The extended frame even allows two players to train simultaneously, maximizing rep efficiency and coaching throughput during practice.

Built for the demands of competitive football programs at every level, the Big Brutus is engineered to handle high-volume, full-intensity repetitions session after session. Available in two dummy weights and multiple pad colors, it can be customized to match your program's identity and training needs.
