Offensive lineman are not allowed past the line of scrimmage prior to a pass. He could catch a screen pass behind the line though. Or they'd have to declare him eligible before the play. When I played flag football we used to do center sneaks. The ball has to touch the QB hands to be considered a hand off though. I don't think that would work well in tackle football, but in flag football where they only had a couple people rushing you could easily get 5-10 yards before anyone noticed.
