Motion Man stop for a sec

[LJ1977]

when a slot back goes in motion does he have to stop for a second?

Same question when a RB goes in motion does he also have to stop for a second.

I'm assuming you are talking about BEFORE he goes in motion?

Team A must have all 11 players (or less) in a legal alignment and set at some point before the snap.  If a team A player is in motion at the snap and the entire team has not yet been set at some point prior to the snap that is a foul.  The call would be false start.

Rule 7-1: Shift and False Start
ARTICLE 2. a. Shift. After a huddle (Rule 2-14) or shift (Rule 2-22-1) and before the snap, all Team A players must come to an absolute stop and remain stationary in their positions for at least one full second before the ball is snapped, without movement of the feet, body, head or arms (A.R. 7-1-2-I).

If after the eleven have been set for a second and someone goes in motion and stops and then a teammate goes in motion, there is no requirement for the first motion man to stop for one second. The one second requirement is for shifts only.
