Is there something in the rulebook about a reciever 'Establishing as a (non-)blocker'?
I don't remember anything, but have heard from people that NFL has some sort of 5 yard rule for bumping a reciever.
As far as I understand a CB can bump a receiver whenever, as long as the ball is not in the air and the block is legal (no PF, not in the back etc).
I see all the time that the CB is 7-10 yards back and the receiver runs downfield. Could be for a pass route, could be to block the CB. As long as the ball is not thrown I don't see a problem with a bump - but I'm usually an U so maybe I'm not well versed enough on the topic.
