Drag ( route ) A drag route is a route run by a receiver in American football , where the receiver runs a few yards downfield , then turns 90° towards the center of the field and runs parallel to the line of scrimmage . This type of route is relatively safe and is thrown to an agile receiver who can make a play after the catch . Alternatively , a drag route may be used as a second option if the principal receiver on a play is covered . The use of two crossing drag routes can also be used to try to create an open receiver by using the other receiver to block the path of a defensive back in a man coverage scheme .
