Vertical | Traditional deep threat specialist on the outside, receiver who specializes in routes 4-9. Emphasizes Speed, Release, Long Routes, Catch in Traffic and Height

Slot | Receivers capable of being quickly available for the Quarterback by either separating quickly or being a size/speed mismatch problem for linebackers and defensive backs who can win contested catches. Can be schemed out of handling press coverage. Emphasizes Acceleration, Catch In Traffic, Hands, Agility, Run Block, and RAC. Routes 0-4

Physical* | Big bodied wide receivers who can play anywhere on the field, even close to the line as a tight end of sorts. Make for excellent threats in the Red Zone Emphasizes Run Block, Hands, Catch In Traffic, Jumping, and RAC. Routes 0-6

Playmaker* | Often not a refined route runner or equipped with the best hands, these receivers are exceptional after the catch but often need plays designed to get them the ball or to be schemed open. Emphasizes Speed, Acceleration, Agility, and RAC. Routes 0,1,2,9, and Crossers
May be excluded from a player's designation as "any" scheme fit.
