That said, there is no rule along these lines in any standard rulebook (NFL, NCAA, NFHS, PopW), and no youth league I've ever worked restricted how far a RB could play off the line, and I can't think of a reason why a local league would want to.

I can: to limit how far runs into opponents are. Pop Warner and my club already limit how far apart you can line them up and run them straight into each other in practice.
