Yeah, a 7-yard slant route is a 7-yard slant route. But the design of the offense that leads to a receiver running that route is much different in a pro-style offense.

There's a reason every draft season, scouts raise questions about a WR's ability to adapt to NFL route trees after running "simple" routes in a spread offense, or questions about a QB's ability to make NFL progressions after playing in a spread offense with different route options, combinations, and reads.

That's a whole lot of words to say a slant route is a slant route.
