Nope, its always been there. I just think its poorly written. It gives you the impression that ANY player can hand a ball backwards at ANY time. And its just not true. The player with his knee on the ground for a placekick, must rise before can do so.

It would be great if they would just add a note to it. I know the rule and I know I would never mess it up in a game. But we have to take an exam in a couple weeks. And the guy that writes our exam loves to put true/false one liners on the exam. And this (in my opinion) is not a true statement. But its right out of the book and I know that.
