No. NFL players who try to cheat, by jumping offsides, pass interference, illegal blocks etc. are penalized by the referees. Their are dirty players in the league and some might even label Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward and linebacker James Harrison as such. But it is very difficult for a player to cheat in the NFL.

Just as in basketball, a pick is when a defensive player is cut off from the person she/he is defending, usually when that person runs so close to another player that the defender is "picked off." Unlike basketball, it is illegal, mainly because it can be dangerous when players are running at top speed. If a pick is called, play stops and the defender is allowed to catch up. If the offensive player that did the picking catches the disc, they have to send it back to the thrower and the defender is allowed to catch up.

No, cut blocks are legal in the NFL as long as they are done within the rules of the game. Cut blocks refer to blocking technique where an offensive player goes low to cut down a defender below the waist. It is allowed as long as it is not deemed unnecessary or dangerous by the officials.
