OK - it says the "first foot to return to the ground." BUT BEFORE that first foot returned to the ground his foot grazed the pylon which is out of bounds. Now by definition of OOB, he's out of bounds. And, an A player can't go out of bounds and return (when his foot touched the ground). So TECHNICALLY (letter of the law) he has committed IP so a test question should indicate IP, BUT that would be nuts to make that call. I would flag incomplete. Now, if his foot hit the pylon and he came 3 yards in the endzone and caught the ball you may have no choice but to call IP. That's just my take on it.

LJ - I think you're reading too much into this. I don't see where it says he went OOB and then back in again. I see the play the same as a player who leaps up for the ball along the sideline, catches the ball, and lands first with his right foot OOB and then left foot In Bounds. No flag, just incomplete.
