There is no longer a requirement for, nor an option to allow a player to "report" as an eligible reciever. Hasn't been for years.
Furthermore, a player wearing a number of 50-79 is an ineligible reciever (due to the number he is wearing).
Reporting to the referee DOES NOT make him an eligible receiver! This is not an option!
Additionally, the "tackle eligible play" from years ago no longer exists, for the reasons listed above. For a "tackle" to be eligible in todays game, he must be on the end of the line, and NOT wearing a number of 50-79.
