Where are you reading this?
6-5-2 It is a fair catch and the ball is dead if any receiver gives a valid fair catch signal, as in Article 1, and he catches a free kick in or beyound the neutral zone to R's goal line, or a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone to R's goal line. If he muffs the ball, then he didn't make the catch and can be contacted.
