What is a 'wide receiver'?

They're the play makers. They're the guys that make plays day in and day out on Saturday's and Sunday's. When coaching receivers at my school I always tell them, and especially being a former receiver I know this, if you guys make plays we win games. If you don't, we lose. Offense is going to do their job, offensive line's going to do their job, running back's going to do their job and the quarterback's going to do his job, but if we don't make plays we don't win. So I always call the receivers core play makers.
