For NCAA football, it would mean having full possesion of the ball with atleast one foot touching inbounds. In the NFL, it would mean having full possesion of the ball with both feet touching inbounds. For both these leagues, a player is not allowed to touch the out of bounds area while making the catch.

If a receiver catches a ball and is pushed out of bounds is it a legal catch?
Before the 08-09 season, this would be considered a catch. The rules have changed this year and unless the player gets both feet inbounds, it is not a catch. Good rule change IMO as the offense has too many rules in their favor already.
Can you catch the football off the crossbar?
No, once it has hit the cross bars it is considered out of play.
Do both feet have to be in bounds for college?
No. College football only requires a player to be in possession of the ball and have one foot inbounds.
Is it a basketball assist on an inbounds pass when the shot is made?
yes
Is a fullback also considered a running back in football?
Yes fullbacks, halfbacks (this term is no longer often used), and tailbacks are all running backs. The fullback is usually the bigger running back in a two back formation, and although he does carry the football or catch passes on ocassion, the fullback is usually used as a lead blocker or to help protect the quarterback on a passing play.
