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. |
I'm almost positive either LT or Faulk also had a triple digit receiving season out of the backfield. LT and Centers though, a huge chunk of their receptions were just dump offs and short passes. Faulk would average 10+ yards per catch out of the backfield. I doubt voters put much emphasis on his receiving game and more on his blocking ability, which imho was always above average at best.
Idk if he gets in either, his numbers are good, but not amazing, which says a lot considering the era he is playing in. As a Broncos fan, if he gets in before TD I will literally form a football out of feces I find in random public restrooms and hit Peter King in the face with it.
