pass pattern
Planned catching trajectory
A pass pattern is a predetermined route a receiver runs in football to get open for a catch.
The receiver and quarterback coordinate on timing—the ball should arrive as the receiver reaches a specific point.
Common patterns include slants, curls, posts, and fly routes: He ran a perfect out pattern and caught the ball near the sideline.
