A center snaps the ball, blocks any defender in his area making a way towards the quarterback, an open eligible receiver and is a guaranteed bet for yards. And the best player on the field.
Can the center advance the football in high school?
yes but the ball has to hit the ground as a "fumble" and if he picks it up he can run but it usually doesnt work very well. Or, the Center can be an eligible receiver of a forward pass if the officials are notified before the play has started. In high school football the center may advance the ball only after it has touched a back. He must also turn toward the backfield with his torso. If the fumble is intentional it is illegal because a play designed to deceive the defense is illegal. A snapper who is on the end of the line and is numbered 1 through 49 0r 80 to 89 is eligible for a pass. There is no requirement for notification but you must be numbered correctly and be positioned correctly to be an eligible receiver. Interior linemen are not eligible period. The guy who snaps the ball to start the play is called a snapper. Center is a position on the interior line and he may or may not also be a snapper.

Down and in pattern football?
A down and in pattern consists of an eligible receiver running straight ahead for a predetermined number of yards (determined by the down and distance), then cutting sharply at a 90 degree angle towards the center of the field. The receiver does not stop running until he catches the ball or runs out of room (reaches the opposite sideline).
Can the seven offensive players who are on the line of scrimmage be on either side of the centre?

Was the Immaculate Reception a legal catch?
This is from the NFL rulebook:"Any eligible offensive player may catch a forward pass. If a pass is touched by one eligible offensive player and touched or caught by a second offensive player, pass completion is legal. Further, all offensive players become eligible once a pass is touched by an eligible receiver or any defensive player."Since the pass was touched by either an eligible receiver or a defensive player and then caught it is a legal catch.
How many offensive players can go out for passes?
Not including the Quarterback, though he is eligible, a maximum of 5 players may be eligible to receive a pass as long as they are not "covered up" by another receiver.

Which players are eligible to receive passes?
There are 11 players on offense, generally arranged something like this:WR1 X X X X X TESR QB WR2RBOn the front line, there are five down linemen (marked with "X"), and two other players.
