A Quote by Cris Collinsworth

It's always irked me that they always say the white receiver has great hands or runs great routes or is a possession receiver.

You need to understand the receiver and the offense you're facing that week. Know his tendencies and what routes he runs out of what formations. This will help you understand the concepts of what the receiver is going to give you on a given play, and make you that much better defending him.

Antonio Cromartie

I was just hoping I'd be drafted in the first round. So to be able to be the first receiver, that was a big pride thing. I can always say now that I was the first receiver taken in my class.

Demaryius Thomas

I have a big problem with scouts. There's a standard for a receiver-you have to have a certain size, run a certain speed, and what not. I disagree with that. You can have a lot of heart, a lot of passion for the game, and be a great receiver. Everyone's looking for that prototype guy, and it shouldn't be that way.

Hines Ward

I think that's when a good receiver becomes a great receiver. If you know what's going on with the defense, you play faster. If you don't know what's going on, your timing will be off and you're not going to make plays.

Demaryius Thomas

Jaelen Strong's big. He runs really good routes. He's got great hands.

John Dorsey

I love the physical part of the game. But I wanted to be a receiver, not just a big guy playing receiver.

Demaryius Thomas

It seems every white receiver has the same thing said about him: He's supposed to be good on third and five. He's supposed to run good pass routes.

Davante Adams is a great receiver.

Devin McCourty

I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that's what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now.

Richard Sherman

In certain systems, receivers are just an X receiver or a Z receiver, and they just have to learn this route on this play.

Philip Rivers

I want to be known as a solid all-around receiver thats fast, not a fast guy that plays receiver.

Torrey Smith

I want to be known as a solid all-around receiver that's fast, not a fast guy that plays receiver.

Torrey Smith

Would you rather have a good fullback or a good third receiver? I'll take the receiver.

Cris Carter

A wide receiver like me wouldn't have won. The quarterback - or even the running back - always wins.

Patrick Wilson

I feel like whatever team drafts me I'd fit into because they're going to get the best receiver in the draft. Regardless of if they really need a receiver early or not, the way I'm going to come in and work, they're going to get the guy they hoped they drafted and be excited about it.

Davante Adams

The Raiders took me fourth overall because they had a certain need, and that was for me to come in and play man-to-man, bump-and-run all day, to guard the best receiver. You understand your job going in, so that's what you focus on. Would I have liked to play receiver and go both ways? Yep, would have loved to have done that.
