Yes, it's illegal to hit a player that far behind the ball who is obviously out of the play.
They would have to be 2 1/2 yards deep in the end zone.

Okay maybe another piece to the puzzle. The kicking team does the onside kick (which did take place) from the 7 1/2 yard line. If the returning team falls on the ball in the end zone is that a safety, or a touchback. I was thinking you couldn't return kicks from the end zone in FED anymore.
I guess the fouls were all dead ball since they all were enforced on the kickoff. I was leaving at the same time the officials were walking to their dressing room. I would have walked over, and asked them, but they had a policeman escorting them. Figured it wouldn't be prudent.
