Even if it's
not an emergency, but you just want to use someone at other than his usual position for the surprise value, NFL officials won't stop it. Otherwise they'd have to ban the currently popular practice (which fad actually started slowly in the late 1990s) of putting the usual QB at a WR position and snapping to someone else in the backfield. For that matter, they'd even have to ban the shotgun formation: "Hey, QB number, get out of there. 5 yards behind the spot is reserved for someone wearing a number in the 40s."
