Linemen in football cannot touch the ball because they are considered ineligible receivers. This means they are not allowed to catch or touch the ball unless it has been touched by an eligible receiver first. This rule is in place to maintain fairness and strategy in the game.

Can the ball touch the ground and still be a catch?
A "touchback" is when a change of possession occurs in the end zone of the defending team and the ball is downed without bringing it back into the field of play. This could occur any number of ways: A kickoff going into the end zone (and/or out-of-bounds), an interception, a forward-fumble into the end zone, etc. In any of these cases, the ball is "downed" in the end zone, but it does not have to physically touch the ground. A person who has intercepted the ball or received a kick in the end zone can take a knee or run out of bounds with the ball.
