To my recollection a defensive player cannot contact an eligible receiver downfield according to 9-2-3d...

A defensive player shall not: Contact an eligible receiver who is no longer a potential blocker.

That means a defender can contact an eligible receiver on the line and hold him up but once he gets past the line of scrimmage no contact is allowed.

Does anyone have a different interpretation?
