No, you can't intercept it, you can only recover it, because lost lateral passes are ruled as fumbles. Yes, if you catch it before it hits the ground.
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.
The fair catch rule in American football was introduced in 1883. It was established to allow a player receiving a kickoff or punt to signal that he would not attempt to advance the ball, thereby protecting him from being tackled immediately. The fair catch was designed to enhance player safety and promote fair play during the game.
recently they have allowed umpires to use relplays for awkward homeruns. there was also one time when a rule was that a catch is not a catch until the player has full control of the ball. one player caught a ball and bobbled it all the way into the infield so the runers couldn't go because it had not been declared a catch yet.
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.
the answer is time.

Block and run some routes to catch passes.
The offensive player primarily responsible for catching passes is the wide receiver. Wide receivers are positioned on the outside of the formation and run specific routes to get open for the quarterback. They are skilled in route running, hand-eye coordination, and making contested catches to secure the football. Tight ends can also catch passes, but their role often includes blocking duties as well.
Check you local laws. Where I am from there are frog seasons, they can be taken during the seasons by gig or gun.
Alternate receiving yards refer to the total yards gained by a player through receiving passes in football, excluding yards gained from rushing or other means. These yards are important in evaluating a player's performance as they showcase their ability to catch passes and contribute to the team's offense. A player with high alternate receiving yards typically indicates their effectiveness in the passing game and their impact on the team's overall success.
