0 in American football, an attacking player who is usually on the outer edge of the line of scrimmage (= the line on which the ball is positioned at the beginning of play):
Quarterback Jake Plummer, who had been intercepted three times, called a quick end-zone pass to wideout Rod Smith.
He looped a 25-yard scoring pass to wideout Chris Chambers for the game's first points.
On the next play Rodgers hit wideout Chase Lyman for a 25-yard score to put the Bears up by 20.
12-season vet Jimmy Smith can no longer be the team's go-to wideout.
