Wide Reciever/ Tight Ends

Now let us go back to offense. If you have good hands, can move sort of fast and love to catch the ball then you should think about wide receiver. The wide receivers are basically the ballerinas of the field now that is not a bad thing though because wide receivers have to be able to catch and block and some of them will even run the ball. Now I call them ballerinas because of all the amazing tip toe catches they have to make. Wide receivers need to be able to get 2 feet in bounce according to NFL rules. So wide receivers just don't need good hands they need very good foot work. Lyn Swan one of the greatest wide receivers of all time who played for the Pittsburg Steelers did ballet to work on his foot work. 2 other great examples of the wide receivers in the NFL now are the Detroit Lions Calvin Johnson JR. aka Megatron. Megatron is a true vernicle threat and a thorn in the side for most defenses. There is also the Houston Texan's wide receiver Andre Johnson. Johnson is just a true beast and he can take the hits from defenders and he will give it right back to them. Then there are tight ends. If you can catch and block you should think about being a tight end. Tight ends are the offensive hybrids tight ends are a mix of wide receivers and offensive lineman. Tight ends need to be able to block and catch. 2 good examples of tight ends are Rob Gronkowski who plays for the New England Patriots and there is also his teammate Aaron Hernandez. Tight ends are truly skilled positions in the NFL.
