Work on your speed drills. One of the most important traits of a defensive end is to be able to move quickly off of the snap.

A defensive end's main objective is to get to/sack the quarterback, so improving your speed and jump off the ball or snap, is very important. In addition, your upper and lower body strength, tackling ability, stamina, and ability to get away from a blocker are all very important tips to becoming a better defensive end.

Increase your speed (especially in the set and down position), your ability to react to the ball and quarterback, your tackling and sack ability, and increase your upper and lower body strength.
