Can a QB or any player be on their knees when the ball is snapped? (alien.top)

For example if a team was in victory formation and the qb took the snap on his knees, he would be down immediately. Thus preventing a fumbled snap.

Provided the QB established possession. But what are you really saving in that fraction of a second it takes to kneel down? You aren’t saving more than a single second of time.
