Title: Never seen a WR line up like this
Post by: Texas_Newbie on November 02, 2024, 02:56:35 AM

Team A with the ball on 1st down...Team A88 lines up on the line at a regular normal WR position, but he is facing the other way - his back is against the defense. Not moving, was set at the snap...Anything illegal here? Just weird and never seen that?

Just know that a back has no restriction on his orientation with respect to his opponent's goal line. But a lineman does.
