Who is a "wide receiver"?
A wide receiver is a player in American football who stands on the outer part of the field and tries to catch passes thrown by the quarterback. The wide receiver runs specific paths to get open, so the quarterback can throw the ball to them. Once they catch it, their goal is to run as far as possible, often trying to score by reaching the end zone. Wide receivers need to be fast and good at catching the ball, even when there are defenders trying to stop them. They help the team score points by catching and running with the ball.
Example

He is known for his speed and agility as a wide receiver.
