Awesome explanation

Thanks I just got assigned to slot and that helps

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Glad it helped and good luck!

[@UrLigmaSigma]

So my take on it is that a wide receiver would typically be bigger, taller, and have more refined route running, while the slot receiver would have more raw speed?

What’s the difference between a slot receiver and a tight end?

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

The slot receiver is lined up in the slot position between the offensive tackle and the wide receiver. The tight end is lined up directly next to the offensive tackle

[@divypatel7223]

what happens if the receivers fail to catch the ball

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

The play is over, and the offense will play the next down. If it's 4th down, then the offense will turn the ball over to the other team.
