Abstract: A football blocking device for training defensive linemen to react to the snap of a football and to charging offensive linemen, wherein the device comprises at least one blocking dummy and a ball object positioned adjacent the blocking dummy. The ball object is moveable rearwardly and the blocking dummy is moveable from a set position forwardly and downwardly to a blocking position to thereby simultaneously simulate the snap of a football and the charge of an offensive lineman. The device optionally includes a mechanism for turning the blocking dummy while it moves forwardly and downwardly to simulate a charging offensive lineman who is also turning.
