Here is a good article on Bryce Brown and what he did to cure his fumbling issues.
So in January, when Brown began his offseason workout program with his trainer and longtime mentor, Brian Butler, their mission for the next six months was strangely simple: Brown had to relearn how to hold a football.
If Brown ran up a steep hill, if he went on a long-distance jog, if he plodded through a sand pit to keep his legs strong, he always carried a football with him. Butler made sure of it, and he made sure Brown’s form was correct. “If I had the ball out here,” Brown said after a recent practice, extending his right arm away from his hip, “he’d say, ‘Do it over. Start again.’ “
One theory for the fumbling issue is that Brown’s track background caused him to swing his arms when he ran. That exposed the ball and gave defenders a chance to get to it.
No fumbles so far for Brown this year. He’s holding the ball stronger and tighter to his body.
