CANADIAN RULING:
There is nothing in the rules that prevent this. Although, if we allow this, then shall be allow a new DB some over-the-shoulder interception simulations?
A backup centre should be picked in practice, and snap a few every practice. Larry Bird used to go 2 hours early to practice and stay 2 hours late. All he did was shoot. It's no wonder the guy was money when shooting.
The backup centre and QB could do the same thing - but maybe for just 10 minutes.
