Question

Answer 1

he first thing we teach our receivers on the first day of camp is how to line up before the play starts. It all begins there; if we can't line up properly we can't be successful on the play.
Stance

I like the two-point stance for wide-receivers. The disadvantage is a bit slower get-off on the route but I think that is offset by the receiver having greater vision to look over and read the defense before the snap.

To teach the stance we have the receivers stand up straight, knees slightly bent, with their feet shoulder-width apart. Then have them bend over and touch their knees. Without straightening up let the arms hang comfortably. That is the basic posture for the receiver stance.

Now the feet. For young receivers I prefer to teach the stance with the outside foot forward. There is a good argument to be made about letting the receiver place his stronger foot forward as it will enable them to get a faster start, but I think that placing the outside foot forward lets us be more consistent with how we teach our routes on each side.

So, we start with the posture. Feet shoulder width, knees slightly bent, hands touch the knees, then hang comfortably. Head up so he can see. Now we take the inside foot and we reach it back just slightly, resting lightly on the toes. 95% of the weight is on the front foot, the receiver should be able to lift the back foot off the ground momentarily without losing his balance.

Wide Receiver Stance

Answer 3

The correct way to be in a wide receiver stance is to have your inside foot always first with your weight for the most part distributed evenly with a little leaning forward to get off the line of scrimmage with explosion to beat the defensive back. Hands should be up at about shoulder height to be able to fight off a jam for the corner back.

Answer 5

It depends on if the corner is jamming you at the line. If the corner is in bump and run your inside leg should be ahead. All bump and run corners are more likely to give up the outside move on the first step, thus you'll need to make that step with the outside leg. Even if the route calls for an inside move (like a slant) once you take that first step off the line of scrimmage with you outside leg, the corner will give ground to not give up the streak/fly, and then it'll be easier to use your hands working to create space for the inside route.

Answer 6

it doesnt matter which ever foot you want to use to push yourself forward easily, and with the most acceleration. as long as you are looking at the ball to not go offsides you should be ok

Answer 7

Your outside foot should be in front.
