Is it legal to tackle a running back by there neck?

If you tackle them with your arm, yes. Shoulder no. If you tackle the arm it is known as a clothesline. It is a type of tackle made infamous by Dick "Night Train" Lane. Many players were injured using this type of tackle. A majority of the time, if the hit is deemed vicious, it will be flagged for unnecessary roughness. If the tackle happens in the back of the neck and drags the player down (outside the tackle box), this is considered a horse-collar tackle, and it also a penalty.

Is a slide tackle legal?

A legal slide tackle may come from any direction, although one from behind is harder to execute cleanly. Making contact with the ball before the opponent is a requirement for any legal tackle, but there are others. Does the player raise a leg or hook with their laces to trip the opponent after ball contact? This would be a foul.
