Wrap block

OffenseTechniqueGTFBH

What it is

The second puller turning up through the hole to block the first defender who shows.

Why it matters

The wrap is the block that actually creates the yardage in power and counter — everything before it makes the crease and the wrap removes the man in it. The coaching point is the shoulder: the puller must take the linebacker with the shoulder that keeps the ball carrier's lane open, which sometimes means going around rather than through.

Also called

Programs call this wrap, wrap up, puller inserts or turn up. The Coach answers to any of them.
