Jugs | Football Passing Machine

Jugs Football Passing Machine

A football is the awkward ball. It is not round, it does not leave a machine the way a baseball does, and how it turns in the air decides whether a receiver catches it on his hands or off his chest. The Jugs Football Passing Machine is the one machine in this group whose manufacturer page publishes a choice of ball flight: Jugs states it throws any kind of pass, including spirals or end-over-end kicks, from 5 to 80 yards with adjustable speeds. A spiral is the ball a receiver catches on a route. An end-over-end kick is the ball a returner fields. One machine, two flights, and the coach picks.

The Football Passing Machine is the longer and faster of the two Jugs football machines: 20-70 mph across a 5 to 80 yard range, on a 130 lb. frame driven by a single 1/4 HP motor. Jugs states it throws perfect passes, punts and kickoffs to any precise spot on your field, which is the full special teams set, and that running backs, tight ends and wide receivers get more practice catching passes in a week than they normally get in an entire season. It runs on 110V, and Jugs states it now has both AC and DC capabilities, with a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station currently free with a football machine purchase. Regulation size footballs, with leather recommended. Jugs publishes a 20 year life expectancy for the machine.

Four Things Jugs Publishes About This Machine

The Football Passing Machine is the longer-range of the two Jugs football machines, and the only one whose page names kickoffs and a choice of ball flight.

🏈

A Football Leaves This Machine Two Ways

Every other machine in this group throws a round ball, and a round ball only has one flight. A football has two that matter, and Jugs publishes both for this machine: spirals or end-over-end kicks, from 5 to 80 yards, with adjustable speeds. The distinction is the whole reason a program buys a machine and not a ball bag. 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, which is the ball that hangs, and it is the ball a punt returner has to judge for a full flight before it comes down. Jugs specifies regulation size footballs and recommends leather ones, which is the ball a machine set for a spiral is calibrated around.

📏

Five Yards to Eighty

Jugs publishes a 5 to 80 yard range and states the machine throws to any precise spot on your field. Eighty yards is twenty more than the Field General publishes, and it is the figure that 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

🕑

Twenty to Seventy Miles an Hour

The published speed range is 20-70 mph, driven by a single 1/4 HP motor, with speed set on the dial. Seventy at the top is 10 mph faster than the Field General, and 20 at the bottom is slow enough for a youth hands drill. Speed and distance are separate settings, 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

Jugs states the machine throws perfect passes, punts and kickoffs to any precise spot on your field, and that running backs, tight ends and wide receivers get more practice catching passes in a week than they normally get in an entire season. The manufacturer's fourth point is the scheduling one: 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.

Three Reasons a Program Buys This Machine

Ball flight

Spiral or End-Over-End

Jugs states this machine throws any kind of pass, including spirals or end-over-end kicks, from 5 to 80 yards with adjustable speeds. Two flights out of one machine is what lets 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. 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. Jugs specifies regulation size footballs and recommends leather.

Reach and pace

Eighty Yards at Seventy Miles an Hour

Jugs publishes 5 to 80 yards and 20-70 mph for this machine, and states it throws to any precise spot on your field. Both figures sit above the Field General, which publishes 5 to 60 yards and 20-60 mph. The extra 20 yards is what makes kickoff work possible from a fixed machine position, and the extra 10 mph is what puts a 70 mph ball into a window a defensive back has to close on. Distance and speed are set independently, so the same 40-yard throw can arrive as a lofted ball or a line drive.

A Season of Catches in a Week

Jugs states that 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 that it offers optimum efficiency for practice: run drills with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. Volume is the point. Reps are the only currency a receiver has, and a quarterback's arm is the limit on how many the group gets in a normal period. The machine removes the limit for the catching group and gives the quarterbacks their own field back. Jugs publishes a 20 year life expectancy for the machine, and it now runs on both AC and DC.

Frequently Asked Questions

20-70 mph. Jugs describes the speeds as adjustable, set on the dial, with a single 1/4 HP motor driving the machine. That is 10 mph above the Field General's published ceiling.

Jugs publishes 5 to 80 yards and states the machine throws to any precise spot on your field. The 80-yard end is what makes kickoff drills workable from a fixed machine position; the 5-yard end covers screens and hands work.

Both. Jugs states the machine throws any kind of pass, including spirals or end-over-end kicks, from 5 to 80 yards with adjustable speeds. This is the only machine in this group whose manufacturer page publishes a choice of ball flight, because it is the only one throwing a ball that is not round.

Jugs states it throws perfect passes, punts and kickoffs to any precise spot on your field. Kickoffs are named on this machine's page and not on the Field General's. Jugs also states that running backs, tight ends and wide receivers get more practice catching passes in a week than they normally get in an entire season.

130 lbs. That is 35 pounds heavier than the Field General, which Jugs publishes at less than 95 pounds. Jugs does not publish overall dimensions or a folded size for the Football Passing Machine.

Jugs does not state one on its current Football Passing Machine page. The manufacturer does publish a transport wheel for the Field General, so the omission here looks deliberate. Confirm with Jugs before assuming a wheel is included on a 130 lb. machine.

110V in the U.S., and Jugs states the machine now has both AC and DC capabilities. Jugs is currently including a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station free with a football machine purchase: 13 lbs., 3 to 5 hours of runtime, and a 50-minute charge from 0 to 80 percent. Treat the free station as a current offer and confirm it on your order.

Jugs specifies regulation size footballs and states that leather footballs are recommended. No other ball type is named on the manufacturer's page.

Jugs publishes no feed rate and no hopper capacity for this machine, and lists no automatic feeder attachment for it. Balls are loaded by hand. Any passes-per-hour figure you may have seen for a Jugs football machine does not appear on the manufacturer's current page.

Jugs does not publish a short leg option for the Football Passing Machine on its current page. Ask Jugs directly if you need a low delivery point for long-snapping or field goal drills, and treat any short-leg reference elsewhere as unconfirmed.

Jugs publishes a 20 year life expectancy for the Football Passing Machine. That is a durability figure from the manufacturer, and it is separate from the guarantee terms, which are listed in the warranty tab on this page.

Reach and ball flight against portability. This machine throws 20-70 mph from 5 to 80 yards, publishes the spiral or end-over-end selection, and is the one Jugs names for kickoffs, at 130 lbs. The Field General throws 20-60 mph from 5 to 60 yards at less than 95 pounds with its own transport wheel, and Jugs frames it around passes and punts with over 5 seconds of hang time. Both now run on AC and DC, and both currently ship with the free Bluetti Premium 30.
