A wing official will square off to every spot he is getting. To be pedantic - every spot unless the spot is actually on the sideline or very near to it.
The key point of this thread is about:-
a) on routine plays he comes in just a few steps and doesn't come too far inbounds.
b) if there is trouble at the pile, then he may come in further to make his presence felt.
c) on spots close to a 1st down, he comes all the way in and is handed the ball so he can put it exactly where he wants it.
But on all of these occasions, his movement is done by a "squaring off" motion. Getting into the squaring off habit keeps the accuracy.
