Quarterback keeper A quarterback keeper or keeper in American football is a designed play in which the quarterback does not pass or hand off the ball to another player and instead rushes forward with it in an effort to gain yardage . The play typically is run in instances where only a few yards are needed to gain a first down or touchdown , due to the threat of injury to the quarterback and most quarterbacks ' ineffectiveness at running the ball when compared to a running back or fullback . This play differs from a quarterback scramble in that a scramble is an improvised play , while the keeper is a designed running play .
