Yes he can.
The rule is 7-5-1 and reads as follows:
"ART. 1 . . . It is a legal forward pass, if during a scrimmage down and before team possession has changed, a player of A throws the ball with both feet of the passer in or behind the neutral zone when the ball is released.
Only one forward pass may be thrown during the down."
Note that all that is required is for the passer to be in or behind the neutral zone.
