Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.
Aaron Rodgers
Cris Carter and Randy Moss - they're the guys who made me want to play football and be a receiver.
Adam Thielen
Just because you're drafted, No. 1, doesn't mean you're going to make a team and, No. 2, it doesn't mean you're going to be around a long time. Especially at receiver, where there are only five and the last two have to play a lot of special teams or they're gone.
I love when people think I'm not a good receiver.
I don't care if people think I'm one of the best receivers or one of the worst receivers. I don't really care.
Ask a receiver, can we take his gloves off because he's catching the ball too well? Nobody is going to be overly happy about that.
Adam Vinatieri
When you're a quarterback, and you're dropping back, I can't watch what the receivers are doing.
Alex Smith
I'm really excited to build an experience for the receivers. Many of the senders are also receivers, but we initially built the product really for the sender be able to invite their guests, and we didn't have really any receiver experience.
Alexa Hirschfeld
The over-60s have to be seen less as receivers - of welfare, of help - or targeted consumers, and more as participants, both in our economy and our society.
Alexander De Croo
It is difficult to help a man without hurting his pride. Everyone wants to be a giver and not a receiver.
Alija Izetbegovic
I want to be the best receiver to ever play the game. I feel like I can do it. I know I have the ability to do it. But it's all about going out there and proving it.
Amari Cooper
I think I proved that I was a polished receiver.
I know that I have the skillset to be one of the highest-paid receivers. I'm just all about going out there and proving it.
Obviously, as a receiver, you want to go out there and make plays for your team to win.
When someone's playing you man-to-man coverage, they're basically saying that guy's better than you. So that's why a lot of receivers feed off of that.
I think I definitely have the mentality and skill set to be a top-five receiver, that's no doubt.
I just wanted to prove that I can play wide receiver at a high level.
Obviously as a receiver, you want to go out there and make plays for your team and win.
I wanted to play running back, but they would never put me at running back. I started loving receiver and as I kept growing older, we kept throwing the ball more and I kept liking it more and more. It's something I've played all my life. It's something I've gotten better at each year.
In my view, the best gift is one that benefits both the receiver and the planet.
Andrew Weil
Europe cannot be only the receiver of strategic decisions of others, that is China or the U.S.A. We have to be strong ourselves to shape the global rules.
I think Von Miller's got great style. For a defensive end, I think he has receiver-type style, swag.
I don't think of myself as a small receiver, but you can't control what somebody says about you. It hasn't held me back - actually, I think I've changed the perception of smaller receivers.
There is no being eloquent for atheism. In that exhausted receiver the mind cannot use its wings, - the clearest proof that it is out of its element.
I've split out, played receiver, I've been a fullback, I've been in-line.
Sometimes when I watch a game, there are often more wide receivers on the field than we had on our whole team.
Sometimes, quarterbacks just get hurt. So do running backs, so do linemen, so do wide receivers. Blaming innovative schemes for these injuries is shortsighted.
There will always be hard times. Use adversity to fuel your fire. In high school, I wanted to play quarterback but couldn't until I was a senior. I played wide receiver instead, and this ultimately helped me because I learned more about the game.
Le'Veon Bell, as we have seen through the years when healthy, is such a dynamic player not just out of the backfield, but as a receiver.
Antonio Brown is, if not the best receiver in the league, one of the best.
These diva wide receivers want to go to the bathroom. As a defensive lineman, we didn't go to the bathroom.
My father was a ham radio geek, and I remember the glow of the vacuum tubes from a Hammarlund receiver that became a hand-me-down to me.
Acting was a lot like football. When you're a DB and you're one on one with a receiver, you're going to dance. It's go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That's exactly how it is when a director says 'Action!' It's the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.
There's not a lot of time to have conversations on the field during the game. That's where the trust and the practice comes into play, through practice, through off-site throwing sessions; that's where you build that trust and build that cohesion with a wide receiver.
I think one thing as far as my learning curve and what I'm learning - there is a time to take a sack, and then there is also a time to try to find a way to maybe throw the ball at a receiver's feet.
Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
I learned the major difference between college and pro football. In the pros, you're up against a top receiver almost every minute of time. In college, maybe one comes along every third game.
Once you really understand your role... that's why I think actors get lost in a series. Everybody wants to be the quarterback or the game-winning wide receiver. I've been around long enough and done enough stuff to where I don't feel that way. I just want to do what I do as well as possible.
I would like to go down as the greatest receiver in this game. I'm not doing all this hard work for nothing.
If I'm thinking about a particular injury, then I'm already a step behind. If I'm so gun shy in the pocket and not worried about the receivers that are open down field, something's going to happen that's not going to get the job done. So my main focus is having confidence in myself knowing that I'm able to be myself when I'm out there.
I think for me, or for anyone who plays the quarterback position, it's almost an unspoken word when you think about leadership. Some guys can be a leader and be a running back or a lineman, or wide receiver, strong safety, or linebacker. But when you speak of quarterbacks, it's automatically a default that you're supposed to be a leader.
As a junior in high school, I had some injury problems with my arm and shoulder from baseball, so I didn't play quarterback as a junior. I played a little wide receiver, linebacker, and safety.
I have confidence in my players around me - my offensive line, my running backs, my wide receivers, and the defense and special teams.
There's a wire injected under my skin a few days before an event and connected to that is a wireless transmitter. That device communicates my blood-glucose levels to the receiver unit, which is mounted above my steering wheel.
I was a wide receiver at the University of Missouri but dropped out, having never gotten in a game.
If you can put your hands on the receiver and get to him fast, that messes up everything for them. If I don't put hands on him, he's probably going to beat me on the route.
You're out there on an island. It's just you and the best receiver, man-to-man, in one-on-one coverage a lot of the time. And you don't really get any help. If you get beat, everyone can see. If you get scored on, everyone knows. That's the difficulty of playing corner.
A lot of wide receivers, they always run their routes at 100% speed. As a DB, that allows you to get a feel for how you need to play them.
Coming in as an undrafted rookie, I wanted to make sure I competed every day against those talented receivers. Brandon Lloyd, he was a great guy to go against because I did a lot of scout team. Going against him every day along with all those other receivers really helped me polish my game.
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.
