What is another word for slotbacks?
Pronunciation: [slˈɒtbaks] (IPA) 
Slotbacks, sometimes referred to as "slot receivers" or "wing backs," are key players in American football. These agile and fast athletes are usually positioned just behind the offensive line and aim to escape defenders and make big plays. "Flanker back" is an older term for slotback that is still sometimes used, while "H-back" is another term for a hybrid between a tight end and a slot receiver. "Z-receiver" and "X-receiver" are also used to describe other types of wide receivers in football. Regardless of the name used, slotbacks are an integral part of any offense and their speed and skill can make or break a team's success.
