👉 The term "doglegs" refers to a particular technique in American football where a player uses their legs and feet to run around the ball, often during a play. This is known as a "dogleg" or "dogleg kick." The term comes from the fact that when a quarterback throws the ball to a running back, they use their legs to push through the ground and create a "dogleg," which allows them to run up the field and score a touchdown.
