Am I missing something? If a team is NOT using the "numbering exception" (they deploy 5 men numbered between 50-79 on the LOS) the snapper can wear whatever number he likes, and snap from wherever he chooses. If he happens to be wearing an eligible number, and snaps from either end of the line he would be eligible to catch a forward pass

If he snaps from anywhere inside the ends, on the LOS, it doesn't matter what number he wears but he will not be an eligible receiver, because of his "position".

ALL the numbering exception requirements apply ONLY when the numbering exception is used.
