Question
Can a back line up on the line of scrimmage as long as it is not in the end position?
Stephen, hello!
A back can line up on the OL as long as 7 are on the line, numbered from 50-79.
The ends can be 1-49 or 80-99. Anyone covered up inside of them would not be eligible to receive.
Take care,
Thom Brooks
