Is Hip Tightness Something That Can be Worked Out?

[Kai]

I want to know if it's actually like a physical limitation that cannot be improved?

Yoga!

LOL I think they all stretch or do yoga or something, even college players who have tightness in their hips or ankles etc

Good question! Media throw that term around like everyone knows. I'm no expert, but from what I've gained it's kind of a natural flexibility to turn your lower half separately from your top half with fluidity. I don't think it is something that can be improved substantially like technique. More like arm strength or explosion

Flexibility like that seems almost like a rare thing in this draft

With CB it’s very bad if they’re tight in college...pro WRs will turn them into Knotts
Hip fluid and speed #1 in CB and S
If they don’t have both they’re doomed

I think hip tightness is a matter of frame and length in proportion to movement to a turn and run and there is nothing you can really do to change those body dynamics. That's the fly in the ointment with cornerbacks. You want size due to all the big WRs but taller corners usually have tighter hips which effects their fluidity. The tall WRs have the same tightness but the cornerback is the one reacting to make up distance. That's why before the current era, most elite CBs where around 5-11 which makes finding a guy like Patrick Peterson special with the rare anatomy to preserve that fluidity

Don’t you have some weird formula concoction that will bring up some imaginary numbers that will give us the answer to this?

Simple. You take his broad jump , multiply it by his 40 time and then divide it by his 3 cone drill.

I had tight hips that caused a chain reaction to my knees. I had thought it was a knee issue, when and saw a specialist and they sent me to physical therapy. Took about an hour for her to find the root cause and 2 months to get the hips working. Took another 2 years of being diligent on my own to have them feel normal all the time. Yoga wouldn't have fixed this initially. That was 8 years ago.

Very hard to significantly improve just like agility.

Hip movement again is a product of a body's length in relation to their hips and the gap between the distance to act... hence, elite gymnasts are small and why a guy like Murray can turn on a dime and give you change and why a guy like Darrell Green was great in coverage in how he could turn and take advantage of his speed which was world class

 

[football karma]

isnt "tightness in the hips" a scout saying meaning he doesnt turn quickly?

i dont think its an actual medial diagnosis

I wonder if that actually does anything
