anybody know if a hand off is ever a pass?

in the cfl game last night their was a hand off where the wr went infront of the qb in shot gun and took a hand off. they are giving passing and receiving yards and know this has happened similarly before. my only argument at this stage, is that a hand-off dropped is still a fumble in the backfield and the shuffle pass is a throw because it actuall leaves the qb's hands and is treated as incomplete as long as it was forward to the wr in reverse. this is the cfl and just seems a lil sketchy cause technically a lot of hand-offs are forwardish and this call is pretty confusing when giving passing yards on a reverse hand off.

if a qb in shotgun take the snap and hands it off to the eb, this is technically forward as well but why are these never considered pass but a wr in motion receives a hand-off (not a shuffle or super short pass) forward. i get you cannot throw it forward twice from behind the los but why is the wr getting credit for receiving yards on a hand off and the rb takes the same hand off and it is a rush? cause technically a forward hand off is a forward hand off by an inch or a mile.

No. There can be a shuttle pass where it looks like a handoff but is still a forward pass as the QB basically laterals it in front of the line of scrimmages so still a pass. Other than that it is always a run. So a direct handoff or lateral behind the line of scrimmage are all run plays.

anything behind the qb is a hand off. infront of, is a pass. example: wr reverse pitch with wr behind the qb is a hand off, wr reverse toss with wr running across and is infront of the qb, is a pass.

Did you guys see the behind the back pass from Mahomes to Kelse the other day?  Hypothetical question:  if that pass has been incomplete would it have been ruled a fumble?  Hard to say if his arm was going forward or not.
