One issue I foresee is Kelce and Hill are both covered very tightly nowadays. To run anything like this, it would require space after the initial catch.
In this recent example, the defenders are playing to defend the sticks and don't mind allowing a catch with some space underneath. When they swarm to tackle the ball carrier, it even further frees up the receiver who gets the lateral. If the pass misses, it goes out of bounds and they punt. If the guy is covered, don't lateral/throw it, and try to get the first down on your own.
It would require a mix of 2 things:
- Game situation. 3rd and long, middle of the field, middle of the game would be perfect. Ideally you have a slight lead to further pad yourself if it fails.
- Role players. As mentioned, Kelce/Hill are going to draw heavy focus. Someone like Hardman, Pringle or McKinnon would be less covered, and have the speed & wiggle to get a big gain.
