The quaterback:
%2815cross%28yards%29%2F1%29%2A%281minute%2F264cross%28yards%29%29+=+0.0568minutes
-----------------------------------------
The Linebacker:

Going by the numbers, no the linebacker will not be able to tackle the quarterback in time.
**But in reality these numbers are only fractions of a second different.
