wideouts
Flankers and split-ends
Wideouts is the plural of wideout, American football slang for a wide receiver—an offensive player who lines up near the sideline and runs pass routes.
The term emphasizes their position wide of the offensive formation: The quarterback looked to his wideouts but couldn't find anyone open.
