I agree with Mike and Steve that you must be in contact with the ground, in bounds to take advantage of the goal line extended.
Not sure if there are any differences in the NFL to this rule, but it sure seems that the officials call it the same as NFHS and NCAA.

I just want to veryify this,
the NFHS rule is you have to be touching inbounds to take advantage of goal line extended? Thanks.

Boy, someone really revived this thread from the dead.
Yes, the GL extended only applies to a player touching inbounds (see 2-25-3). If the the player dives and first lands OOB, then the ball is spotted at the location of the ball when the player first crossed the plane of the sideline (4-3-3). Also see Casebook play 2.25.3.
