  Dane Oliver's Wide Receiver College
Wide Receiver College is not your typical football camp.
The curriculum is specifically designed to teach wide receivers to play the game intelligently, to be "coaches on the field" and to be true leaders during games, in practice, during the off-season, and in everyday life.

  Wide receiver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The wide receiver position is among the most famous in American Football because they are often responsible for the biggest plays made on by the offensive team.
They also point to the fact that wide receivers score a majority of the points on a team, and place their health in the most danger, as a catch usually involves a hit that is unprotectable.
These critics state a wide receiver is merely 1 of 2, 3, 4, or 5 possible receivers at any time, and their catches are merely a by product of the other receivers running the correct routes and the quarterback hitting them perfectly with a pass.

 Roy Williams (wide receiver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following the season, many expected him to declare for the 2003 NFL Draft, where he was the second-ranked receiver, behind future Lions teammate Charles Rogers, and was projected to be picked 3rd by the Houston Texans.
The two receivers, along with rookie running back Kevin Jones, were supposed to provide the foundation of an explosive Lions offense.
When Rogers was hurt on the third play of the 2004 season, however, Williams was left to carry the offense, and he performed admirably, catching 54 passes for 817 yards and 8 touchdowns, despite suffering an ankle injury midway through the season that limited his effectiveness, and an errant quarterback in Joey Harrington.

 Mixing Wide and Narrow Modes
Unless the receiver is so poor it overloads and internally generates spurious signals, noise that limits reception is not reduced by front end filters or "antenna Q".
If we have a 25 kHz wide antenna antenna (or front end filter) on a 2kHz wide receiver, the weak signal performance is exactly the same as if the antenna bandwidth is 25 MHz.
As a matter of fact once a receiver is wide enough to pass the spectrum necessary to convey information, any further increase in bandwidth reduces system range.
