One of the best parts of football is watching those crafty receivers create separation with their fast feet and precise routes.
The list of great receivers goes on and on and on, and it gets longer after each season. However, there are several different types of receivers. You have your athletic receivers, your lightning-fast receivers, your sharp route runners, etc.
You have Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and so many others. But who’s the best route runner? Who could create the most separation from a DB?
One of the greatest Bengals receivers of all time claims he was the greatest route runner ever and that theory was solidified by his former teammate, Willie Anderson.
