Overview

The Wheel tag identifies every play featuring a wheel route, where a back, slot, or tight end releases flat before turning vertically up the sideline, spanning 825 plays across 13 formations and 288 sets from Power I and Full House to Shotgun and Empty Trey Flex. Wheels are elite man beaters against linebackers and safeties in Cover 1 and Cover 0, and they punish Cover 3 flat defenders when paired with Post, Dig, or Drag concepts that pull the deep safety inside. Filter by this tag to build a play-action and RPO-friendly call sheet, find concepts like PA Dig Wheels or Mesh HB Rail, and identify which sets let you hot route a wheel without losing your core read.
