I have heard enough replies to reverse my position on this call. While I still do not agree with the center being an eligible receiver (strictly opinionated), the forum is overwhelming clear that this is a legal play. I will NOT call this illegal in a game situation. By the way, I never called this illegal in a game situation just questioned in my mind if it was legal. Thanks for everyone's input. The team that ran this play tried a few other trick plays that involved the center. The other play they ran was a center sneak. The center snaps the ball to touch the QB hands and then tucks the ball and runs. I blew this one dead before he took 3 steps and called false start on the center. This is clearly a snap infraction because the center must release the ball in order to be a legal snap. This call I'm 100% certain!
