receiver is a football player at the professional level. NFL wide receivers have to catch passes, get yards and try to score. They have to be fast, to get open and beat the defender, and strong to take a hit and hang on to the ball. They also have to be coordinated to catch, have the ability to run precise pass routes, and have good concentration. They have to get open (get far enough away from the defender so that the quarterback can throw you the ball). I chose this job because I love playing football and I love this position.
NFL wide receiver you need lots of training. You need to be really fit and strong. You train at practice but you also have to train a lot by yourself because practices are only about two hours. Most of the physical training is done in the offseason when there’s no practices or games. You also need to memorize a lot of plays. You need to memorize at least 30 new plays for every game. You can get training for being a wide receiver at any college that has a football program (including 2 year colleges, there are about 800 colleges). It won’t cost any extra; but, if you get a scholarship for football you can get into the college for less money. A good college for a wide receiver is a college that runs a pro style offense like Stanford.

a essential part of being a wide receiver or any kind of football player. You need to watch the film for your games so you can improve and also for the opponent’s team so you know their tendencies and try to figure out there game plan. There is more film study involved in football than actual practice. It is usually 6-‐7 hours of film study a day.
It is not common to be a wide receiver in the NFL no matter where you are or where you live. You need to be in top physical shape, talented, and most importantly, very fast. You can do this job anywhere where there is an NFL team. For example, you cannot be an NFL player in Idaho because there’s no Idaho team.

is a former NFL player who Noah and I interviewed. He came from Oakland to meet us at Larkspur. His opinion of football is that it is the most intense game in the world because of how much film study, memorization, quick decision making you have to do and the competition between teams. He also told us that an average career in the NFL is about 3 years because of injury and the newer players coming in to take your position. This is one reason why people joke that NFL stands for “not for long”. He said that if he could go back in time, even though he had a passion for football, he would have played baseball because his career would have been longer.
