Question Is the "wild hog" formation a viable option?

Its a version of the single wind that Arkansas used to some success where McFadden took snaps as QB. They only used a few plays from it. A sweep, counter, reverse, or flanker sweep, and a couple different pass plays, mostly play action off the reverse. I believe its based on zone blocking concepts.

I've seen multiple reports that DMC took snaps from shotgun at the rookie camp. Do you think that we could use a version of the wild hog? And can it be successful in the nfl? I think teams would stack the box and play man outside to test McFaddens arm (hasn't thrown on nfl db's before).
I think if he can make a throw or two it could be a productive set in the redzone because d's would loosen up.
I'm skeptical of it also because DMC fumbled the snap a few times in college as well.
And when is the last time you've seen an NFL team use a single wing, that's just rediculous! Rediculously exciting if it works.
I wounder what knapp and kiff are cookin up.
