Curl ( route ) A curl route , also called a button hook , is a pattern run by a receiver in American football , where the receiver appears to be running a fly pattern but after a set amount of steps or yards will quickly stop and turn around , looking for a pass .

The curl is a pattern used frequently by the West Coast offensive scheme , where quick and accurate passes are favored .
