If you ever see a clip of DaeSean Hamilton running wide open, don’t be surprised by it.
This guy was considered a highly advanced prospect in terms of his route running ability leading up to the 2018 NFL Draft, and someone once asked me what that even means.
Don’t all receivers run the same routes?
That’s a good question.
Many college receivers run a limited route tree, which simply means their offense dictates their quarterback gets the ball out quickly, so they run slants, drag routes, fades, or screens most of the time and rely on their abilities after the catch.
