Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Will the Big Sam pop up on its own after every hit?
Yes - the Big Sam Pop-Up Dummy is specifically engineered to return to an upright position after contact from any angle. This is what sets it apart from standard standing dummies and makes it ideal for high-repetition solo drills without the need for a coach or player to reset it each time.
What positions can use the Big Sam?
The Big Sam is designed for use by every position on the field. Offensive and defensive linemen can use it for blocking and pass-rush drills, linebackers and defensive backs can work on tackling form, and skill players can practice shedding contact. Its 72-inch height makes it a realistic target for all skill levels.
How durable is the cover, and can it be replaced?
The cover is constructed from heavy-duty 18 oz. vinyl coated nylon, which is built to handle years of intense practice use. When the cover eventually does show wear, Rogers Athletic designed the Big Sam with an industrial zippered vinyl cover specifically for easy do-it-yourself replacement - no special tools or professional service required.
Can I get the Big Sam in my team's colors?
The Big Sam is available in Red, Blue, and Black as standard options. Rogers Athletic also offers custom color options beyond those listed - contact us or Rogers Athletic directly to discuss custom color matching for your program.
