Answer 3

Fly/Streak/Go - Run straight up the field towards the endzone

Curl - Route that looks like a fly but the receiver will stop and turn around after a predetermined number of yards

Drag/In - Run a couple of yards downfield and turn 90 degrees toward center of field and run parallel to the line of scrimmage

Corner - Run upfield and turn approx 45 degrees away from the qb running toward the side line

Out - Similar to drag but the receiver runs to the nearest sideline

Post - Similar to the corner, only receiver turns 45 degrees to the middle of the field

Slant - Run upfield at a 45 degree angle

Answer 4

There are:

- Fly- where the receiver goes straight down field

- Post- where the receiver goes straight for 10 yards and then cuts toward the goalpost

-Flag- same as a post except for the receiver cuts toward the flag (pylon)

- Out- where a receiver goes 5-10 yards and then cuts toward the sideline

- Curl- where the receiver goes 5-10 yards and then turns around.

- Slant- where the receiver cuts diagonally across the field.

- Screen- where the receiver takes 3 hard steps upfield and then turns back and goes behind the line of scrimage to receive the pass
