I just worked a scrimmage and a coach asked me if he's allowed to play a TE with #67. I said absolutely but also made him aware of the eligibility restrictions. He wasn't in love with that answer especially since the same player sometimes plays offensive tackle. I told him his only course of action would be to have that player switch jerseys to an eligible number when he plays TE if he wants him to be eligible. I have seen nothing in the rule book that prohibits the coach from doing this. Anyone disagree?
