Actually kid, I did think about it. They COULD be considered linemen, but the whole purpose of the line is to block, and receivers are notoriously bad at that. When I couple that with the fact that receivers can line up either on the line (flanker) or in the backfield (slot or wing), I would place them either with the backs or in their own category of ..... perhaps......oh, I don't know......receiver? Besides, why would you put the smallest, most athletic guys in the field in the same category as the fatties? It's just not a fair comparison.
Llama....that old man rocked. Best bookie I ever had.
