It's no different than roughing the punter. If the contact is avoidable, it's roughing.

I am interested - how is the situation in NF that allows for a 2nd legal forward pass?

7-5-1
It is a legal forward pass, if during a scrimmage down and before team possession has changed, a player of A throws the ball with both feet of the passer in or behind the neutral zone when the ball is released.
More than one forward pass may be thrown during the down.
