That's what I'm getting at. The NFL and NCAA have solved the problem outright and the NF hasn't. You put it well when you say that it is a pass, and an illegal one at that, if he does it intentionally. But what if the same thing happens unintentionally under NF rules?
The definiton of a pass under NF is, "throwing a ball that is in player possession." Is it implied under NF that a pass must be intentionally thrown ? If it is then under NF this play would be legal. If not then you can say that the kid threw it forward and you'd flag it.
