A receiver must have possession of the ball with both feet inbounds for a catch to be legal. A rule passed for the 2008 season has eliminated the 'force out' as a legal catch. Prior to the 2008 season, if a receiver was in the air when catching the ball and a defender hit him and knocked him out of bounds before he landed the referee could allow the catch to stand by ruling the receiver would have landed inbounds had he not been forced out of bounds by the hit. Now, that ruling has been eliminated.

A player is allowed to catch the football as long as.....

the player that is on the line of scrimmage is not covered up by another player that is on the line of scrimmage as well.

Usually though, everybody but the linemen go out for passes.

If the ball is tipped in the air due to a defenders hand, then anybody is allowed to catch the ball
