Fair Catch

Okay, I'm getting two different answers here. I'm looking for a FED ruling. Are both players who signal protected or JUST the player who catches the ball. I'm curious as to what support you can present for the position you take. I'm without a casebook today so I don't know if this is covered there or not.

Thanks!

I'm also without my books today but I believe both are protected. If a player has given a valid FC signal he's expecting that protection. If just for saftey, I believe we need to give it to him
