Sporting Charts explains Ball Security

When carrying the football, a player must stress ball security to ensure his team keeps possession of the football so they can score. A fumble-prone Tiki Barber of the New York Giants had fumbling problems during the early part of his NFL career. But through a variety of ball security drills and a change in the way he carried the ball, he was able to overcome the problem and become a better running back.
