To borrow a phrase from John Madden, one knee equals 2 feet. The NFL player need not get 2 feet down in bounds to be declared inbounds because the rule says "A player is inbounds when he first touches both feet or ANY OTHER PART OF HIS BODY, other than his hands, to the ground within the boundary lines."
Ex: DB is OOB, jumps back towards inbounds and lands on his back before catching the ball. That would be an interception.
