The article is somewhat misleading. It makes it sound like the innovation is that all 11 players can go downfield. It doesn't mention that after the pre-snap shifts, the same number of players can do downfield (5) It will just be hard to determine who those 5 eligible receivers are until the last second. It wouldn't surprise me to see some related innovation in the NFL but this will not happen. I'd be surprised if the high school rules are corrected to close this loophole to what it was intended for - SCRIMMAGE KICKS!
