'''Bump and run coverage''' is a strategy often used by [[defensive back]]s in [[American football]][[[ in which a defensive player lines up directly in front of a [[wide receiver]] and tries to impede him with arms, hands, or entire body and disrupt their intended route. This originated in the [[American Football League]] in the 1960s, one of whose earliest expert was [[Kent McCloughan]] of the [[Oakland Raiders]].
