Wheel
Route10-22 yd
RB or slot releases flat to the sideline (~3 yds depth, ~6 yds out), then ROUNDS UP and runs vertical along the sideline (the rounded turnup is the wheel). Beats LBs in man coverage who can't run with a back. Common pair with a deep crosser to clear the safety.
Demo rendered on @X (outside WR) at 16yd depth. Only the route runner and the QB are shown so the break stays the focus; the same route family scales to any depth a play calls for, and concepts that use this route may set a different depth.
