Mostly running. There are many sprint and agility drills that a college or pro football players do (ex: L-test, Pro Agility, Plyometrics), but those are used mostly for quickness and explosiveness. The game of football is a long and strength intensive game. A good football player needs to get air in his lungs to remain competitive throughout a game as well as keep stamina. Long distance running is a great way train for this (1 mile, 2 mile). An elliptical machine is used quite often, but it does not simulate the contact that the legs will make with the ground and the effect it will have on the knees and ankles. Lifting activities can also be done to increase stamina, and most great weight lifting programs include them. If your looking for a program like this, make sure the program includes at least one stage that involves a lower weight and a higher amount of reps.

But in the end, long distance running is the king for cardio, but most be done supplementary to all other training. Just doing cardio is not an option for a GOOD football player.
