In NF, where is the rule that states that a reciever who gives a valid FC signal cannot be blocked or tackled? I'm familiar with 6-5-6 but where's the rule that distinguishes between a receiver that has caught the ball without a signal and is immediately tackled and one that has given a valid FC?
thanks

2-9-1 A fair catch is a catch by a receiver of a free kick in or beyond the neutral zone to the receiver's goal line, or of a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone to the receiver's goal line, after a valid signal, under conditions in which the receiver forfeits the right to advance the ball in return for protection from being blocked or tackled by an opponent.
