Chad Wilson discusses the importance of eye focus for defensive backs (DBs). He emphasizes that the eyes are the most important tool for DBs and that problems with footwork and hand placement often stem from issues with eye focus. Wilson advises DBs to have a laser focus on specific body parts of the receiver they are covering, such as the hips or logo on their pants. He also discusses the debate between speed turns and hip flips, stating that he prefers hip flips as they allow DBs to keep their eyes on the receiver. Wilson discourages excessive use of speed turns and emphasizes the importance of being in the proper position and executing hip flips. He also touches on the topic of player salaries in the NFL, highlighting the disparity between positions and the importance placed on quarterbacks.
