QB Training Manual Here is a manual that was apparently handed out to quarterbacks at the University of Maryland in previous seasons. It is a 106 page document that explains some of the basic duties and expectations placed on the position. It contains sample naming conventions for defensive fronts, secondary alignments, and other key concepts. It even has a short quiz and some material for a Q&A session with the coach and players. Take a look and see how you fare!
