Being a non-Fed guy, I've read this with interest, wondering if I'd misunderstood your rules.
What is surprising is that there seems to be some feeling that this SHOULD be illegal, even if it isn't. I don't understand that. The kid did nothing wrong, and did not try to deceive the defense. Why the desire to make that illegal? The whole 9-yard mark idea is to prevent deception. There was no deception at all here. By both the letter and the spirit of the rule, this kid did nothing wrong and is a legal, pass-eligible player.
