A Quote by Demaryius Thomas

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

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 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.

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

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

College lacrosse can be pretty brutal at times, so that definitely helped me with the toughness. It's a fast-paced game, so that helped me kind of translate over to the game speed of playing in the NFL. I think just the one-on-one aspect of trying to beat the guy in front of you definitely helped me as being a receiver.

Chris Hogan

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

A big part of that quarterback-receiver relationship is communication. You've got to be on the same page because if you're not, it just doesn't work. Then you're kind of guessing.

Chris Hogan

My game, I just want to be a complete receiver.

A. J. Green

Say I was playing like a big receiver at whatever school, I would look up his Instagram and see his girlfriend and I'd probably go slide in her DMs. Before the game. You know we get to the game, he probably know about it, maybe he don't. But either he know about it or he don't, but either way I'm bringing it up in the game.

Jalen Ramsey

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

Cris Carter

I wanted to finish my career as a Steeler. I felt I just fit the mold as far as a blue-collar guy. I may not be the flashiest, most flamboyant wide receiver out there. But I get the job done for my team.

Hines Ward

The two biggest things to understand when you're tracking the ball as a defensive back is your position on the field and understanding that once the ball is in the air you become the receiver. Too many young defensive backs worry about the receiver catching it or what the receiver is doing instead of focusing on what they should be doing. Just go out and make the play yourself, don't worry about him. Know where the ball is and attack it. Put yourself in position to bat it or catch it and make the play.

Antonio Cromartie

I wanted to be part of Jordan Brand, because I saw Randy Moss, my favorite receiver, wearing Jordans when I was younger. I wanted to do everything like Randy.

Davante Adams

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