shotgun formation 5 yards behind LOS. Center snaps the ball. Ball is in the air, can the qb step up and get the ball at the 4 yard line?

    Yes. He doesn't have to wait for the ball to gt to him. Unless the play is a run it would defeat the whole purpose for using the shotgun but it's legal.

    Yes, as soon as the ball is snapped everyone can move forward if they need to.

  • Yes but the snap is so fast that the qb would have to time it perfectly.
