Yep, run 5 yards, cut hard inside the coverage, take two steps, put your hands up, grab ball, get pummeled by middle linebacker... Play after play.
I was lucky though, my coach had some longer tight end plays which worked well for me. Then you'd have a safety that was 60+ lbs lighter than me trying to take me down in open field. If they couldn't take me down they held on for the ride and waited for help. Either wrapped up or by jersey.
