Allright, I'll list some traits a wide receiver must have. What you could do is for each number, just put the name of the WR you think is that best at that. EX:
1. Speed - Must be able to burn opposing DBs and use that speed to stay away from defenders.
2. Cuts- Must be able to make quick cuts and be able to make DBs fall down at times.
You would put something like:
1.
Torry Holt
2. Marvin Harrison
stuff like that.
Here we go, traits in no particular order:
1. Size - This may be a little overrated, as many NFL receivers who are small have great careers, but it's hard to defend a 6'5 man who runs a 4.4 40 and you are just a 5' 9'' DB. The taller you are, the easier you are to spot in traffic as well.
2. Speed - Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind. A WR has got to be speedy enough to shake off DBs and get open. This is more than just a fast 40 time, it's how fast you can run a route as well.
3. Release - If a WR can not get off the line of scrimmage that fast, it will cancel out any advantage they have over the DB in speed or quickness. A bad release makes it a lot easier for a physical DB to bump you as well, which will really mess with the timing of the offense.
4. Route running - If your QB is good, than he knows exactly where you should be. The QB will release the ball many times before a WR even makes a cut (see Kurt Warner), and a precise route is vital. If the WR runs a bad route, an INT can easliy result.
5. Hands - The WR must be able to catch the football. Only rarely should they ever drop a catchable pass. You want the WR to catch the ball away from his body insted of catching it with his pads, as the ball is more likely to be mishandled that way. Also, you want to see them make a spectacular catch ever now and then.
6. Body Control - Must be able to adjust to a poorly thrown ball and be able to get their feet down on sideline routes. Also see how well they can use their body to gain position on the defender.
7. Cathing in Traffic - Must not be afraid to take a hit. Must WANT the football bad enough to go up and fight for it.
8. Yards After Catch - Once the ball is caught, they must be hard to bring down. This can be either tough physical strength or elusiveness.
9. Ball possession - Once caught, do not fumble the football. Must hold the ball as a running back does to prevent fumbles.
10. Blocking skills - For WRs, this does not mean pancake blocks. A WR must be able to shield the ball carrier with his body, be that knocking the defender over or simply getting in the way for just that split second while the runner splits the seams.
11. Heart/Character - Must love the game of football and will do anything for his team. Never complains about not getting the football, and is always the first one to pick up a team mate after a bad play.
Allright, I think that covers most of the major issues. Just copy and paste the traits, and replace the info with the WR/TE you think fits the mold of the description.
