If there is such a player, he should be in the NFL right now.. However, they have a five-yard chuck rule, so his skills are useless.
So lets be realistic, once a receiver has in essence cut/turned away from the defender he is no longer a potential blocker even if he is between the ball and the defender. What ever coach or official is saying otherwise maybe should sign up for the A-11 league.
Look at CB play 9.2.3 Sit A:
