Basic ball security can be broken down into four steps.
The claw position is the first point, meaning that you grab the football clawing at the point of the football with your fingers.
The second point is your forearm wrapped around the ball and shielding it from the defense.
The third point is securing the other point of the football with your bicep making sure that it is right up against it.
The final point is keeping the football high and tight against the ribcage.
Practice holding the football and having defensive players try and knock out the football by any means possible.
