The third segment of a pass pattern is the "sprint." This includes the last four steps of the glide, just prior to the receiver making the final break on his pattern. In these four steps the receiver is trying to convince the defender that he is attempting to run by him. If possible, this threat of being beat deep will cause the defender to physically turn and start running directly toward his own goal line, thus giving the receiver a better opportunity to break free.
