Do people move around a lot in football?

Answer 1

Football is a motion sport, so yes, they do move around quite frequently. However, your question has to do with if they move around a lot before the snap, I'm sure. Wide receivers, tight ends, fullbacks, halfbacks and sometimes quarterbacks can all move "in motion" before the snap. The quarterback will signal this by a signal special to each quarterback, but usually he will step his right foot backwards, then back to its original position to signal he needs someone in motion. That someone is part of the play's design. Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts is a quarterback who does this frequently. All of the positions listed above may be in motion, however only one at a time, as two or more men in motion at one time will result in an illegal motion penalty and a loss of five yards.
