Which position is NOT listed among the 300-yard shuttle exceptions?

• A. Quarterbacks
• B. Running Backs
• C. Defensive Tackles
• D. Offensive Guards

Answer: (B)

Understanding which positions are exempt from the 300-yard shuttle hinges on matching the drill to on-field demands. The shuttle tests quickness, lateral movement, and endurance, so exemptions are given to roles where that specific combination isn’t as central to their typical duties or where testing them could be less relevant or riskier. In this set, quarterbacks, defensive tackles, and offensive guards are listed as exemptions, meaning they don’t have to perform the shuttle. Running backs, on the other hand, aren’t listed among the exemptions because their role relies heavily on rapid direction changes and bursts in space. So the position that isn’t part of the exemption list—and thus must perform the shuttle—is running backs.
