Spread Wing T Belly RPO
Anyone paying attention to the NFL has seen Wing T concepts becoming more prevalent in the run game. Head coaches and offensive coordinators are willing to expose quarterbacks to hits that previously would have been unacceptable and let’s face it, quarterbacks are now being protected down the field as a runner. For these reasons and others, no doubt the Spread Wing T will be used in the NFL playoffs this weekend.
