Answer 4

a slant is an angled route, almost always to the inside of the field (for example if the receiver is lined up on the left, a slant will be to the right,). A slant will sometimes (rare, but possible) go towards the sideline, usually by a TE or slot receiver lined up near the middle of the field. This slant is sometimes considered an out. An out is usually a ninety degree route toward the sideline. (for example, a receiver on the left goes three yards, plants, and heads in a straight line directly for the sideline.)
