What is Checkdown?
A term for when a quarterback throws a short pass to a nearby player after a passing play has had time to develop. Usually, a checkdown is used when the primary receivers are not open, and the quarterback wants to get rid of the ball for some yardage rather than risk a sack. The receiver on a checkdown is usually a running back that comes out of the backfield or swings to the side of the field, and will attempt to gain extra yardage after receiving the pass.
