If a football player carries the ball from his 15 yard line to the opposing team's 45 yard line how far has he run?
From his own 15 yard line to midfield (the 50 yard line) is 50 - 15, or 35 yards. From midfield to the opposing team's 45 yard line is 50 - 45, or another 5 yards. He has advanced the ball 40 yards for scoring purposes. However, if he zig-zagged, or ran diagonally across the field to do so, he would have run much further.

Are yards after catch considered rushing yards?
No. After making a reception of a forward pass all yards, gained or lost, after the catch are considered receiving yards to the receiver and passing yards to the quarterback. EXAMPLE: The line of scrimmage is the offense's 10 yard line. The quarterback throws a forward pass that is completed at the offense's 15 yard line and the receiver runs to the offense's 30 yard line before being tackled. The receiver is credited with 20 receiving yards and the quarterback is credited with 20 passing yards. EXAMPLE 2: The line of scrimmage is the offense's 10 yard line. The quarterback throws a forward pass that is completed at the offense's 12 yard line and the receiver runs laterally/backwards to the offense's 8 yard line before being tackled. The receiver is credited with -2 receiving yards and the quarterback is credited with -2 passing yards.
