From what I see, that should be OK outside of the pocket. The rule refers to a "passer". Of course that incompletion would kill the RB's QB rating. 😊 -- (link) - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 16:00
I think they have to be careful cause depending on the blocking scheme they may get a penalty for illegal man downfield, plus that is a total mind -- (edited) - Beaker Nov 21, 15:59 1
- even in a designed gadget play its not sucessful often enough to be a regular thing. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 17:02
