If it crosses the vertical plane of the goal line, touchback. The position of the returner is immaterial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct.....a returner can actually step into the end zone and run as long as the ball is not judged to have crossed that plane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this came up a year or two ago and it stuck in my head for some reason. I guess since my kid was kicking, that may be why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
