The Three-point stance is a stance used by offensive and defensive linemen in American football as well as running backs. This stance requires one hand to touch the ground with the other arm cocked back to the thigh/hip region. The back should be slightly inclined forward, as well as the arm which is placed on the ground; putting a substantial amount of pressure on the arm that touches the ground.
The head should also be raised toward the oppenent when in this position. This prevents the player from serious injury.
