Velocity NFL Prep · Canton, Georgia

Pre-draft training
for Offensive linemen.

Velocity Athlete Development has developed 4 first-round draft picks, 45+ professional athletes, and 170+ D1 athletes. The Program brings that experience to 2027 NFL Draft hopefuls with technical awareness, speed, and power. For offensive linemen, by offensive linemen.

Why Velocity for Performance

Trained like a lineman.
Not an oversized skill player.

Most pre-draft programs run linemen through a receiver's training week, scaled up. A decade of preparing offensive linemen taught us the opposite: big frames accelerate, load, and recover differently, and testing numbers move when the training respects that.

01

Speed

The fastest offensive line group ever tested came off this floor. Acceleration mechanics and top-end speed, coached for the frame that carries them and timed against Combine standards.

02

Strength that tests

ForceDecks testing, bar speed on the lifts. We know what is actually getting stronger week to week, so Pro Day numbers move because the training moved them.

03

Power that transfers

Jumps, splits, and drive out of a stance: explosive qualities built for a lineman's testing day and a lineman's job description.

One building

Nothing about the Training gets outsourced.

Position coach's, performance coaches, physical therapy, and recovery all on site, all on one schedule.

​

Agents and athletes coordinate with one staff, not four.

VALD ForceDecks

Every jump in the Combine battery starts here: force, rate of force, and left-right balance, read on ForceDecks. It's how we know power is climbing before test day proves it, and how we catch fatigue before it costs a week of the block.

Bar speed, live

Vitruve VBT

Bar speed on every lift, so the load matches what the athlete has that day. Ninety days leaves no room for junk sessions.

The Velocity Way: Test · Gap · Plan

Small Room

Small room.
Sharp focus.

We don't pack the room. We stay small, coach hard, and know every athlete by their numbers and their name. Bigger rooms miss the small stuff.

FAQ

What prospects and agents ask us.

  • The program is built around the window leading into the Combine and Pro Day, so most prospects begin shortly after their college season ends. Starting earlier buys time to correct the technique scouts will scrutinize on film before all star games and start on preformance training.

  • Offensive line only. Specializing in OL allows us to get specific with the training for both the positional and performance side.

  • Shoot Us a Call or Email and we would be happy to discuss pricing and review our offering.
