Every team will have what they call a "passing tree" in their playbook. It names and diagrams the routes used by that team. A picture won't help (it will just be a guy running). You probably need some football books from the library (they have them).
Some teams used different terms, but the three "primary" receivers (split end, tight end, and flanker) are normally called X, Y, and Z. Also the same route may have a different name (for example: 'X down to the first down marker and then out to the sideline' could be an "out" to one team and a "sideline" to another).
There are about a dozen basic routes. The trick is not how they are ran, but how they are used in combination with other receivers.
Most teams have some type of straight down the field play ("arrow" or "fly" pattern), "post" and "corner" routes, "square in" and "square out" routes, "hook" and "curl" routes, and both "quick"--slant, pop, hitch-- and "delay" routes. But they also have a few double moves like"hook and go" and "out and up.".

A slant goes outside. A post runs towards the goal post in the middle of the field.

simple. go got square outs and in. it's seven and out,or in. you have curl in and outs seven and curl, you have come backers, you go 2 yards past the first down marker and come back, so that when you catch the ball, you have just enough for the first down, you have the fly, or go pattern,run as fast as you can as soon as soon as you beat your man, you're open and the ball should be there,(it's hard on a man 2 zone) it works on man to man.you have the z pattern thats inside slant and go out post, (this is good if you are the slot man). those are the basics. i hope that helped

a slant is where you run straight for 5-7 yards,fake outside then cut inside....a post is the same but is generally longer...
