Route10-25 ydaka Flyaka Streak
Straight vertical sprint downfield (route tree #9). No break — full-speed release, accelerate upfield, ball thrown over the top. Stretches the defense vertically. Best vs single-high coverage with no deep help.
Example: @X (outside WR) runs the route at 18yd depth. Only the route runner and the QB are shown so the break stays the focus; the same route family scales to any depth a play calls for, and concepts that use this route may set a different depth.
