That player must snap the ball and must be positioned between the ends. …”

But then it would become redundant! "...one lineman other than those players on the end of the line...and must be positioned between the ends...."
So maybe it should have said:

That would allow for the possibility that a player on the end of A's line and the snapper would have the same identity. But we still don't know if that's what Fed adopted.
