Former Georgia Tech OC and current Florida OC, Buster Faulkner, does a great job of designing screen passes to look like one of their base run plays. In 2025, he did this with Outside Zone, GT Counter, Jet Sweep, and Power Read, with Outside Zone being the most successful.
Outside Zone Screen
Frontside OL blocks Outside Zone, with the backside Guard and Tackle selling Outside Zone for 2 steps and then getting out to block for the screen. Usually ran from the pistol, QB sells Outside Zone and then gets the ball out to the screen.
GT Counter Screen
Backside Guard and Tackle run GT Counter, with the Center and frontside Guard selling the down block and then getting out to block for the screen. Frontside Tackle sells GT Counter and then becomes the “rat killer”.
Jet Sweep Screen
Similar to Outside Zone, just this time selling Jet Sweep.
Power Read Screen
Lastly, OL sell Power Read, with the backside Guard pulling for the end and the rest of the OL getting out on the screen.
