One of the drills Stanton did particular well was the 'Rail Shot' station, where the QB must throw a thirty yard vertical down the sideline. It stresses placement as the receiver has little room on the outside of the route (in the sideline) and even less on the inside (with a defender underneath).

So how much does that ball actually weigh? It looks in the video as though it has quite a bit of mass, much like a medicine ball. I've never seen this drill before, thanks for posting this.

3 kilos

I would have guessed it closer to 10 pounds.

I know when I played, this drill wasn't a big factor for the QBs as much as it was for LBs, RBs, & DBs. I actually didn't know that they were grading QBs on this drill until recently. I guess with dual threat QBs being a bit more physical (C. Newton, T. Tebow, etc....) this drill would hold a little more clout with them. The weight of the ball can vary but as huskernut pointed out, the normal weight is 3 kilos.
