Right now there are about two dozen other players that have better numbers then he does that aren't in the Hall of Fame yet.  If he makes it then Larry Centers definely needs to make it in before he does.  There will never be another fullback or runnig back that will come close to getting 827 career receptions.

Counterpoint: not only is there no such thing as the Larry Centers rule, and not only did Centers not waste his career having the ball "thrown" to him by one Matthew Stafford, but if you're advocating a running back get in based on his passing numbers you may be doing it wrong.

Larry Centers was a fullback but when it comes to catching the ball he had more talent then most wide receivers and tight ends.  He is the only back field player to have over 100 receptions in a single season he caught 101 passes in 1995.  Plus pretty much during his entire career he never played with a quaterback that is as good as Matthew Stafford.  Since he spend the majority of his career with the Arizona Cardinals in the 90s he pretty much had a different starting quaterback every season of his career.
