The NFL rule:
Section 2, Article 1: "All players are prohibited from: (d) grabbing the inside collar of the back of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately* pulling down the runner. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket."
*Underline is mine, not in the rule book.
