Yankeesfan, I can agree with your logic but there is no rule support. 7-2-1 is pretty clear: "After the ball is ready for play, each player of A who participated in the previous down and each substitute for A must have been, momentarily, between the 9-yard marks, before the snap."
In this case, the player met the requirements. He was within the 9-yard marks at the ready for play. What he does after that doesn't matter.
