Every Offensive Lineman loves a pancake block (as well as knockdowns), but they go even better with syrup.
Offensive Line Coach John Garrison gives out bottles of syrup for every “pancake block” a player records that week. You don’t have to be an O-Lineman to snag a bottle of syrup. You just have to put someone on their back.
