The fact that you asked 2 different crews and neither was sure is disappointing. This is pretty fundamental stuff.

They told us that any linemen cannot catch a pass if said linemen are in the backfield. Can run though.

Players numbered 50-79 are ineligible to catch a forward pass wherever they are lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
