This play is illegal. We covered this in another thread and it may have been on another site as I can't find it right now.
This is covered by rule 7-3
SECTION 3 HANDING THE BALL
ART. 1 . . . Any player may hand the ball backward at any time.
ART. 2 . . . No player may hand the ball forward except during a scrimmage down before a change of possession, provided both players are in or behind the neutral zone and it is to:
a. A lineman who has clearly faced his goal line by moving both feet in a half-turn and is at least 1 yard behind his line when he receives the ball.
b. To a back or a teammate who, at the snap, was on an end of his line and was not the snapper nor adjacent to the snapper.
