What Is The Definition Of Hot Receiver In Football?
1. This term is used in football to describe the receiver on the field who has been pre-selected to be ready to receive the ball immediately after the snap. The hot receiver is utilized by the quarterback if a blitz is detected in order to avoid a sack. In most cases, the quarterback will call an audible before the snap so the hot receiver can run a short route instead of blocking or running a regular route.
