NFL Not Changing Catch Rule
The NFL will not overhaul its rule surrounding what constitutes a legal catch in the wake of the now infamous Dez Bryant play just a few months ago.
Instead, NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino outlined some changes to the language which he hopes will clarify any confusion in the future.
Here’s Blandino from the NFL Annual Meeting on Monday:
“The committee looked at the language and made several changes. In order to complete a catch, the receiver has to have control, both feet on the ground, and he has to have it after that long enough to clearly establish himself as a runner. This would fall directly in line with our defenseless player rule, where we say a receiver is protected until he can clearly establish himself as a runner. And what does that mean? That means he has the ability to ward off and protect himself from the impending contact.”
