I originally thought this was illegal motion, but after researching the rules/case book I think this is legal in FED rules. The QB can go in motion and does not have to get set for a second or be 5 yards deep at the snap.

7-2-7 ...... Except for the player "under the snapper" a outlined in Article 3, the player in motion shall be at least 5 yards behind his line of scrimmage at the snap if he started from any position not clearly behind the line and did not establish himself as a back by stopping for at least one full second while no par tof his body is breaking hte vertical plane through the wasitline of his nearest teammate who is on the line of scrimmage.

2-32-3 ... A back is any A player who has no part of his body breaking the plane of an imaginary line drawn parallel to he line of scrimmage through the wasit of the nearest teammate who is legally on the line, except for the player under the snapper, who is also considered a back.
