Other people were talking about playing him mid as well so you aren't the only one who thinks it can work. I am extremely skeptical myself.

I mean, how is he going to keep Fizz at bay, Not get harassed to death by Orianna, Counter CC'ed by Ryze, Out bullied by Ziggs, or even duel and peel off the large number of melee assasin mid champs that fill mid lane?

Again it can be done but it doesn't sound like a safe proposition.
