They do a lot.

So the first requirement is a high football IQ. The ability to absorb the playbook and know the calls (Lester has a set of the call just for them each play).

Lots of blocking. So sound technique or size helps. (Lewis excels here, Erv is good enough - not sure on Strickland)

Route running (slot reciever/RB wheel routes). Understanding the route tree, running precise routes, hands, etc. (Lewis excels, Erv is good, Strickland can catch and is fluid. Don't know about routes)

Running. Lots of end arounds, jet sweeps, inside runs. (Lewis is slower than the other two and lacks the dynamic moves and cuts. Erv is great and Strickland looks almost as good)

So - to answer your question. No. I think it's really rare to be all of those things. But I think the position changes depending on who's playing it. While we've seen runs with Lewis, I think this nearly always a set up and not meant as a chunk play. With Erv/Strickland I'd bet we see lots of yardage - esp once people are afraid of Dungey's arm.
