Jugs Football Passing Machine

The Jugs Football Passing Machine is a football machine that throws passes, punts and kickoffs to any spot on your field, from 5 to 80 yards at 20-70 mph. It throws tight spirals for route work or end-over-end kicks for the return game, and a switch of the slide changes one to the other. Running backs, tight ends and wide receivers get more practice catching passes in a week than they normally get in an entire season. Drills run without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. At 130 lbs. it rides its own transport wheel to any spot on the field.

How a football turns in the air decides whether a receiver catches it on his hands or off his chest. The machine throws both flights the game needs: spirals for routes and end-over-end kicks for returners. A single 1/4 HP motor drives it from a standard 110V AC outlet, and it throws regulation size footballs, with leather recommended. Its pneumatic tires carry a 20-year life expectancy, against 5 years for a solid tire. It is built for high schools, colleges and professionals.

Inside the machine

How it works

Spirals and kicks, a long reach and a speed dial let one machine cover the passing game and the kicking game.

A football leaves this machine two ways
A football has two flights that matter: spirals or end-over-end kicks. A spiral arrives nose-first and stable, which is the ball a wide receiver reads over his shoulder on a go route. An end-over-end kick tumbles and hangs, and it is the ball a punt returner has to judge for a full flight before it comes down. Switching the passing and kicking slides changes one drill to the other.
Spirals or end-over-end
Reach from screens to kickoffs
The machine throws 5 to 80 yards, to any spot on your field. Eighty yards puts a kickoff in play: a ball placed deep in an end zone from a fixed position, over and over, so a return unit can practice the same setup until the blocking fits. At the other end, 5 yards covers screen work, hands drills and short check-downs.
5 to 80 yards
Speed set on the dial
The speed range is 20-70 mph, driven by a single 1/4 HP motor, with speed set on the dial. Twenty at the bottom is slow enough for a youth hands drill. Height and aim are set on two T-clamps, so a coach can put a soft ball 40 yards downfield or drive a hard one 15 yards into a tight window.
Single 1/4 HP motor
Passes punts and kickoffs from one machine
A coach can run drills with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. A special teams period stops competing with the offense for the quarterback's arm.

Ball flight

Spiral or end-over-end

The machine throws any kind of pass, including spirals or end-over-end kicks, with adjustable speeds. Two flights out of one machine let a single purchase cover the passing game and the kicking game. The spiral setting is the one a receiver corps lives on: a stable nose-first ball that arrives the same way every rep, so a player working on catching away from his body gets to work on that and nothing else. Tilting the wheels sets the spiral's hand, with the left wheel forward and the right wheel back for a right-handed spiral. The end-over-end setting is the punt and kickoff ball, tumbling and hanging, which is a different read entirely for the man under it.

  • Spirals for passing and route work
  • End-over-end kicks for punts and kickoffs
  • Both flights across the full 5 to 80 yard range
  • Regulation size footballs, leather recommended
  • Adjustable speeds from 20 to 70 mph

Reach and pace

Long reach at game pace

The 80-yard end of the range makes kickoff work possible from a fixed machine position, and the 70 mph top speed puts a ball into a window a defensive back has to close on. Speed on the dial and height on its T-clamp work together, so the same 40-yard throw can arrive as a lofted ball or a line drive.

  • 20-70 mph speed range
  • 5 to 80 yard throwing range
  • Single 1/4 HP motor
  • Weighs 130 lbs.; 56 in. tall and 39 in. wide
  • Kickoff reach from a fixed position

Practice load

A season of catches in a week

With this machine, running backs, tight ends and wide receivers get more practice catching passes in a week than they normally get in an entire season, and drills run with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. A quarterback's arm is the limit on how many reps the catching group gets in a normal period. The machine removes the limit for the catching group and gives the quarterbacks their own field back. The optional Short Legs Attachment lowers it so a punter and field goal kicker can get hours of snaps.

  • Throws passes, punts and kickoffs
  • Run drills without relying on quarterbacks or kickers
  • Runs on a standard 110V AC outlet, 2.8 amps
  • Own transport wheel for moving between drills
  • Optional Short Legs Attachment for snapping drills
