[edit] Different than Chair Route
A Wheel Route and an Out-and-Up aka Chair Route are two different routes. In a chair route you run downfield, take a 90 degree turn to the sideline, and then take a 90 degree turn upfield. In a wheel route as a wide receiver you go upfield for about 2 steps, take a 45 degree angle towards the sideline, and then turn upfield at the sideline. A Wheel Route is also a running back route that is run towards the sideline like a flare but then turns upfield at the sideline. I have edited the article to reflect this--EG60 (talk) 19:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
