This is from the NFL rulebook:

"Any eligible offensive player may catch a forward pass. If a pass is touched by one eligible offensive player and touched or caught by a second offensive player, pass completion is legal. Further, all offensive players become eligible once a pass is touched by an eligible receiver or any defensive player."

Since the pass was touched by either an eligible receiver or a defensive player and then caught it is a legal catch.
