Veer is a city located in Suriname.
The term "Veer" also refers to an option running play commonly associated with option offenses in American football. The play was popularized at the collegiate level by Bill Yeoman's Houston Cougars and is currently utilized primarily at the high school level, with some continued use in college and professional football where its blocking scheme has been adapted into zone blocking systems.
As a football strategy, the Veer is characterized as an effective ball-control offense designed to minimize mismatches during a game. However, it carries the risk of turnovers due to the nature of its pitch and handoff option reads.
