We all know that they want #2 to be True but the following case book play doesn't let it.
7.5.10 SITUATION B: Eligible receiver A1 blocks an opponent 10 yards downfield while the pass is in flight. The pass is completed to A2 who is: (a) beyond the neutral zone; or (b) behind the neutral zone when he catches the ball. When the covering official observes the block by A1 during a forward pass, he immediately drops a penalty marker to indicate an infraction. RULING: It is a foul for pass interference in (a), and a legal block in (b). It was proper for the covering official downfield in (b) to indicate an infraction because he had no way of knowing whether the pass was beyond the neutral zone. (7-5-7)
My guess is that #2 will be thrown out.
