What Is The Definition Of Double Coverage In Football?
1. Double coverage occurs in football when the defensive team assigns two players to defend one offensive player. Teams will double cover a player if they feel that the offensive player has a significant advantage over the single defender. The most common player that receives double coverage is a highly skilled wide receiver, usually with a one cornerback and one safety.
Pass catching running backs will sometimes also receive double coverage, usually with a linebacker and safety.
