Sporting Charts explains Draw Play

When executed properly, the draw play is the ultimate display of deception and power. The quarterback and offensive line work in unison to fake a pass play. After a slight delay, the quarterback hands off the ball to the running back. The best time to call a draw play is when the defense is expecting a pass.
