Wide Receiver

The Wide Receiver is athletic, quick and a darn good catcher. Once the play has started (the centre has passed it into the quarterback's hands), he runs along a route agreed by him and the quarterback by means of a secret code. Then he has to try and evade his cornerback (the person marking him to prevent the pass), catch the ball and make as much yardage as he can. Ideally, he will run into the endzone and score a touchdown.
