Don't look at the defender you are rubbing. Pretend you are looking at the Qb. And dont' stay too long with the guy. If you make contact, get back to running your route. The idea of a rub isn't to drive block the guy, just delay him. Make it look like he's the one who got in your way.

We have our receivers aim for the upfield shoulder and inside hip. If a collision occurs our recievers are taught to pump the arms as quickly as they can and to look upfield. It is really goofy looking but we have never been called for a pick it just looks like an inadvertent collision. The upfield shoulder is what usually keeps us out of trouble

The idea of a rub is to slow the guy down, force him to restart running, not to actually block the guy. Besides, you want the reciever performing the rub to run his route too! Aim for the upfield shoulder and run through the rub with a rip technique. This will give the other receiver a step, which is often all you need to get open.
