What Is The Definition Of A Naked Bootleg In Football?
1. The naked bootleg is a play in football that is a variation of the bootleg, which is when the quarterback runs the ball towards either sideline while staying behind the line of scrimmage. However, in a naked bootleg, the quarterback runs to either side of the line of scrimmage, but this time without a blocker and moves in the opposite direction of the offense. This strategy is typically reserved for short yardage or goal line plays.
