Not sure why I can't quit this...

If it's not a pass (lateral) does the receiver need to be eligible?

Actually I'm just kind of bored at looking for entertainment.

No. It's not uncommon for the big guys to get the ball on last ditch plays that have 5+ laterals.

No, anyone can receive a lateral.

That's why I think the replay booth blew the call for not overturning it.
It's questionable if it actually went backwards, but it certainly didn't go forwards, so the ineligible receiver flag should have been picked up.

I agree. Like I said, I'm bored.
