What is the limit to the number of audibles a quarterback can call at the line of scrimmage?
The number of audibles a quarterback can call at the line of scrimmage is not explicitly defined in the rulebook. The rulebook simply states that the quarterback can call an audible at any time before the ball is snapped.
In practice, the number of audibles a quarterback can call is limited by the time available before the play clock expires. The play clock starts when the referee signals that the game is ready to begin and stops when the ball is snapped. The quarterback must call an audible and get the team lined up before the play clock expires.
The number of audibles a quarterback can call is also limited by the complexity of the audible. A simple audible can be called with a single word or hand signal. A more complex audible may require the quarterback to say several words or give multiple hand signals. If the audible is too complex, the quarterback may not have enough time to get the team lined up before the play clock expires.
