Overview

Overview

No other sport rivals the complexity of American football. There's a gap in knowledge that exists among players, coaches, and fans — and American Football IQ was built to close it.

This is the complete AFIQ system — every framework we've ever taught, in one bundle. From defensive coverages and pre-snap reads, to the leverage battles up front, to the mental processing that elite quarterbacks execute on every snap.

Developed by highly qualified coaches, including a Division I quarterback and college coach who has trained All-Conference players and NFL prospects, these flashcards are designed to increase your awareness, speed up your processing, and help you play with confidence — at every position, in every phase of the game.

Football isn't just about physical skill — it's about how fast you can think.

American Football IQ helps you see the game more clearly, make smarter pre-snap reads, and process the field faster than ever. When you understand faster, you play faster — and when you play faster, you win more.

You'll learn how to:

  • Recognize single-high vs two-high defensive systems

  • Identify defensive fronts and alignment techniques

As a college football mom, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the game and the different positions. These flash cards took my knowledge far beyond the basics. They helped me understand not just what was happening on the field, but why.

Now I get to share that experience with my grandsons. We practice together, learn together, and have so much fun testing each other. It's become a special way for us to spend time together while growing our football IQ.

Whether you're a football parent, grandparent, or a fan who wants to understand the game on a deeper level, these flash cards are an incredible resource. I only wish I'd had them years ago!

Great! Full of knowledge and strategies.

Coach Doug Brady has put out an amazing product for all QB's, those just starting out as well as those more experienced. For those just getting started, if you learn what's inside these three volumes of cards you'll be light years ahead of your competition. I've seen it with my own son's understanding of all things playing the QB position and football in general.

Volume 1 - helped him build out his understanding of terms and coverages. Both from the foundational (what is Cover 0, Cover 1, etc. coverage) to extremely nuanced concepts getting deep into coverages, alignments, etc.

Volume 2 - I'll be honest, my son struggles the most with this volume, and I mean that in a good way. This volume delves deep into topics that he had barely thought about before - blocking schemes, protection calls (not yet big things for a QB who only played 7th and 8th grade Pop Warner, but will be invaluable as he gets older), all the way through OL play. Although these might not be the first topics that come to mind when one thinks of what's needed for great QB play, as a QB continues to advance, improve, and take on more responsibility, these will be important to a QBs understanding.

Volume 3 - this volume takes QB understanding to the next level. For a young QB, it was so important to learn the importance of good footwork, understanding both pre and post snap reads, and how those all come together.

Taking a quick step back, I feel that there's often too much put on "how well does the QB throw the ball" when some of the greatest QBs in NFL history were great not bc they could throw the ball 80yds (many couldn't) but bc they won the game before the ball was even snapped. I'd rather no one else read these cards, haha, that's how good they are and how much a leg up they'll give you as a QB, but Coach Brady and these cards have made a massive difference to my son's development and they deserve to be read by anyone serious about playing QB.

C
Chris R.

Great resource for young QB’s looking to learn about opposing defenses! Definitely recommend!

L
Lloyd

Love it, love it, love it. I have all 3 volumes now and they are a big help to improving and continuing education about American Football. If they make other volumes down the road I will purchase them as well.

C

I PURCHASED BOTH VOLUMES. AND LOVE THEM.MY SON ISA QB C/2030 HE'S A TRUE FRESHMAN PLAYING VARSITY FOR ST PIUS X. SHOWED THE CARDS TO HIS HEAD COACH AND HE TOO ORDERED BOTH VOLUMES. IQ DEVELOPMENT IS KEY.

L
Lance D.

Good information but pretty elementary and the price is off the charts for what you get.

C

They are awesome, wish I knew about the cards sooner. My son will be a true Freshman playing Varsity QB and these are going to come in handy to increase his FB IQ.

Good idea, not worth $80.
Wish you could order position specific.

S
Steve C.

These cards are absolutely perfect, packed with information, and extremely portable and great tool for a coach on the field to show to his young athletes as there coaching them, a great alternative to a clip board.

K
Kyle M.

My son now watches film completely differently since we got these. The content is accurate and reflects what players actually see on the field. He now plays with a level of awareness that has surprised everyone on the coaching staff. My players now recognize defensive looks before the snap and it has sped up their decision making. These have been a wonderful addition to our football preparation routine.

T
Tiffany R.

Nothing else has helped my son understand coverages like this. The cards are well made and the information is presented clearly. We'll be buying these for every player on the team next season.

O
OC K.K.

I've been coaching for years and found these to be decent but not particularly deep. The visual layout is decent but some concepts are not explained clearly enough. A decent resource but could be better

T
Treyvon J.

I mean I've been coaching for years and these are a solid resource for younger players. The diagrams are helpful but some of the explanations could be more detailed. A solid purchase overall but I wish there was more depth.

D
Doris W.

My son plays defensive tackle on his youth team and these have been a great resource. Glad we came across them.

H
Head C.J.W.

I coach youth football and these have become a staple in our film study sessions. The cards are easy to use and the information sticks. The visual format is perfect for young players who struggle with text-heavy playbooks. He now communicates coverages to his teammates before every snap. Would recommend to every football parent out there.

J
Jason R.

Definitely solid. Helps break down concepts in a way that's easier to teach.

J
Joshua G.

I use these during walkthroughs and the kids are more engaged than ever. The content is comprehensive and covers all the major coverage concepts. My players now understand their assignments in every coverage and execute them with confidence.

B
B. R.

My son has been studying these and his understanding of coverages has improved. The visual format is helpful and the diagrams are clear. A solid purchase and I would recommend it for any football parent.

O
OC A.H.

Picked these up for my middle school football team and they have been worth every penny. The visual format is perfect for young players who struggle with text-heavy playbooks. The format makes it easy to study a little bit at a time. These have been a game changer for us.

S
Sandra M.

These are a must for any serious football player or coach. He now recognizes defensive looks before the snap and adjusts his route accordingly. These are a staple in our household now.

G
George K.

Picked these up as a defensive back on my high school team and they have been incredible. The content covers the basics well but could go deeper on some concepts. Good overall and I would recommend it for any beginner.

D
DC T.R.

The diagrams are too simple and the explanations are not detailed enough to be useful. I returned these and would look for something more comprehensive.

S
Samuel C.

Bought these as a beginner and they have been worth every penny. He now plays w/ a level of confidence that has transformed his game. The content is accurate and reflects what players actually see on the field. These are a permanent part of our football routine.

B
Benjamin G.

Leveled up our game.

P
Paul R.

Bought these as a linebacker on my middle school team and they have been worth every penny. I recommend these to every football family I know.

C
Coach B.D.

Bought these for my flag football team and they have been excellent. These have made a real difference and we will keep using them.

R
Rebecca O.

Found these as a wide receiver on my youth team and they've been a great resource. The content covers the basics well but could go deeper on some concepts. The format is good for on-the-go study but the content is a bit surface level. Overall pretty good and I'd recommend it for younger players.
