Make no mistake, it is truly special. While he gets deserved praise for his skills in this area,
it seems this highlight gift also sees him go undersold in the unremarkable trait of being a great route-runner. In fact, many of those same gifts, having a plan and understanding angles, he displays before in
routes before he starts making defenders look foolish once the ball arrives.
Route Running
Before coming into my study on CeeDee Lamb,
I’d read some mild criticisms about his route-running polish. With that in mind,
I was surprised to see how advanced he was in a set of nuanced areas.
One word kept coming to mind.
Quick…in absolutely everything. Quick breaks. Quick decisions. Quick to accelerate after he’s successfully deceived a cornerback.
Much like his work after the catch, Lamb always has a plan of attack. When he’s lined up in tight press coverage, he brings the fight to the corner. Lamb sells an inside break on an outside route with the ease of a trained magician. He has this move where he almost marches toward the defender, setting the pace of the encounter at a slow speed
before changing directions with lightning speed.
You can tell Lamb has put the time in to study cornerback play. He makes decisions in the moment with how he’s going to negotiate beating the defender. It’s almost always based on how the defensive back is position, which influences exactly how he’ll break his route.
You’ll see some receivers, even at the NFL level, sacrifice precious seconds with foot flutters and fancy moves that eventually win the route, but it’s long after the play has broken down and of no help to their quarterback.
With Lamb, there is no wasted motion. It’s fluid, decisive, and gets to the open area quickly.
Its almost like he made the article to destroy the misconception of uneducated fans like you.
