so what is a possession receiver?
Pardon my ignorance, even though I'm not new to the game I never did figure this one out. What the hell is everyone talking about?

a receiver who specializes in running shorter routes and getting 1st downs instead of going deep for the long touchdown passes.
1st downs = keeping possession usually a guy gets labeled that because he doesn't have quite enough speed to regularly get behind the cornerbacks and safeties, so he works in front of them.

Possession receiver is a guy who isn't flashy and doesn't have great speed. Nobody wants him on their fantasy team, but every head coach wants one. But he's the guy who runs good routes and will catch the ball when it's thrown his way.

It's a receiver that maintains possession of the ball... yesterday, Lelie was not a possession receiver.

Past their prime, for the most part...
Good hands, as opposed to speed. Guile over raw athletic ability. A possession receiver is what guys can become when they have lost the speed of their youth. Get open, make the catch, first down. xoxo~ Gaz Lacking both guile and raw athletic ability. |

It appears with the responses to this then I would be a "possession drinker".
