After watching the Bucs/Indy game I was wondering if you can fair catch a kick off? I think it was the first one that was lofted high going 10 yards.
I think you can fair catch a kick off. Trying to find the answer I found this link.

Fair Catch
Parameters for fair catches on punts or
kickoffs.
But nobody has been able to give me a straight answer....just their opinions. Also I don't think I've ever seen it done.
A few other questions. Is that not why kickers "bounce" the footbal? Then it becomes live? Or can you still fair catch a bounced football?
Look forward to the answers.
Thanks in advance.
