A "Double Reverse" is a type of play in American football that involves multiple handoffs. Initially, the ball is handed off to a running back, who then hands it off to another player, often a wide receiver, running in the opposite direction. This misdirection aims to confuse the defense and create open space for the ball carrier. The play is designed to exploit defensive alignment and can lead to significant yardage gains if executed correctly. It requires precise timing and coordination among players, making it a more complex strategy compared to standard running plays.
