strange situation today in football game, the offensive team lines up with 9 players to the right of the center and 1 on the left the guy on left goes in motion and while hes in motion the center picks the ball up and tosses it to him while the quarter back is in the shotgun is this a legal snap.

Legal snap as long as the center starts the snap with his shoulders parallel to the goal line when he starts the snap and it is a continuous motion. This would be a similar "snap situation" to a swinging gate.

Interesting play! Did he go in motion behind all the linemen or the other way. Great play off of that would be to run it once with him going behind his linemen, then later and have him sweep out right and throw back to the QB who delayed and then ran out to the left.
