Actually, that's a myth too, at least under NFHS football rules.

There's no rule that says a player can't be the first player to touch a ball after coming from OOB. In fact, a football player does not even have to touch inbounds to be considered inbounds. If he's not touching OOB, he's inbounds. "You are where you were until you get where you're going" does not apply.
Let me re-phrase that. Someone is watching too much football on Sundays. I too officiate football (wing) and have to hear coaches complaints about he was OOB and first to touch.
