Step 1
Make any adjustments to your uniform while you are in the huddle. Many receivers like to re-strap their gloves, or wipe their hands on their pants. If you do this once you have lined up on the line of scrimmage, the defense will get the idea that the ball is coming in your direction.

Step 2
Approach the line of scrimmage with the same energy each time. There's no right or wrong way to do this as long as you are consistent. Some receivers like to run to their spot, while others like to walk and intimidate the defense with a death stare. Whatever the case may be, do it repeatedly.

Step 3
Keep your nerves in check during a football game. This can be tough if a big play is about to be run. However, one of the biggest giveaways at the line of scrimmage is when a receiver approaches with eyes as big as flying saucers. The defense will definitely be looking for the ball to come to you.

Step 4
Settle your feet at the line of scrimmage. The last place on your body that may twitch and give you away is your feet. As a receiver, you want the best jump off the line possible; however watch that your back foot doesn't twitch in anticipation because you know that the football is coming to you.
