The Elite 11 “will bring together top performers to receive advanced, one-on-one quarterback instruction in a highly competitive setting. (It) will span three days and include on-field drills, routes-on-air, classroom instruction and off-field development. The Elite 11 will be named at the conclusion of The Elite 11 Finals,” according to their website. They are also the “nation’s premier quarterback competition,” according to their Twitter page.
