The Shape of Sprint:WR

The Big Bodied Receiver

These types of receivers are known for their size, frame, and ability to win contested catches. They take advantage of their height and length which make it hard for defenders to make a play on the ball. Their impressive frames also make them difficult to tackle. You can expect this style of receiver to make circus catches, take the top off the defense, and generate a ton of YAC. This is the type of receiver every coach dreams of having. When you go into a game with this type of player your offense is going to be in good shape.

(CSFL) CHC 15-19 WR Domoree Hill 102rec 1941yards 26TD

Hill had all of the traits any coach would want in a traditional X receiver. Big, tall, strong, and fast are just a few of the words you would use to describe Hill. It was not uncommon for the entire Griffins gameplan to be built around getting Hill the ball. His impressive catch radius and a knack for coming down with the ball despite defenders being in good position made Hill a nightmare for opposing corners. Hill finished his career as the all time leader in every receiving category at CHC and he is near the top in every category in sprint football history. He is on the short list of best receivers in sprint football history and a great example of what a dominant big receiver looks like.

(CSFL) Mansfield 16-19 WR DJ Mclean 104rec 1550yards 17TD

McLean is one of the most physically impressive receivers to ever play sprint football. He is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in every Mansfield receiving category. He is also top 10 all time in sprint football history in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. McLean used his elite size to out jump defenders or out muscle them for the ball whenevr the moment of truth came. He made a ton of spectacular plays throughout his career even though he never had an elite quarterback. McLean left a lasting legacy in the CSFL and he is a textbook big body receiver.

(MSFL) Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods-College 22-24 WR Devron Johnson 80rec 1307yards 13TD

Johnson has been one of the MSFL’s greatest receivers during their inaugural era. A combination of size and great ball skills make Johnson a difficult matchup for most corners. During his three years at SMWC Johnson has held many roles within the offense. He has been a part of a receiving core that go 3 or 4 deep, a dynamic duo, and he has also had the reasonability of being the main guy. Johnson was one of the first of this breed of wide receiver to have a great career in the MSFL. Johnson will be one of the names to remember when reflecting on the early life of the MSFL.

(CSFL) CHC 15-18 WR Reggie Robinson 52rec 1095yards 14TD

Robinson partnered with CHC great Domoree Hill to make up one of the most dangerous receiving duos sprint football has ever seen. Like Hill, Robinson was a big receiver that made the most of his size and frame. He used his physical tools to glide down the field and size to muscle out extra yards after the catch. If Robinson did not start his career as a quarterback then he would have even more receptions, yards, and touchdowns to his name. Robinson left his mark on CSFL history and had a legendary career for the Griffins.

(CSFL) Army 09-12 WR Cody Nyp 110rec 1369yards 23TD

Nyp helped usher in the modern era of sprint football. He was apart of one of the most potent offenses in CSFL history and he has one of the most productive careers in sprint football history. Nyp was a tall ,lean, and acrobatic receiver for the Black Knights. He was able to consistently out jump defenders or use his long stride to go deep and make plays. While not as dense as some of the other players that fit this mold Nyp is still a great example of a great taller outside receiver.
