I don't think it is actually the signal to hike because many times the is a 1 or 2 second delay and none of the other linemen can see it. My best guess is to make sure the center actually hikes the ball to the right player as opposed a running back that may be in the back k field. Glad to k own I'm not the only one that doesn't know for sure.
