I spent the majority of my professional career as a back up QB and found it to be one of the most difficult positions to be in each and every week. If you are the starter you know exactly how to prepare and you have a routine each week because you know that come kickoff you will be under center, as the back up each and every week is an unknown. Many have asked me how to prepare and what you should do as a back up and I posed that exact same question to University of Clemson QB Will Proctor. Will spent four years at Clemson as a backup before finally getting his opportunity in his fifth year and he took advantage, having a great season and then going on to play for the Montreal Alouttes of the CFL. In this interview Will discusses what he did as a backup to prepare and gives great advice to anyone that is a back up QB out there. I can’t agree more with the advice that Will gives in this interview especially when he talks about the importance of preparing as if you were the starter. This is easier said then done, but is so key because you never know when your opportunity will arise and when it does you have to be ready to take advanage of it– just ask Kurt Warner!!!
