That's not true. If a player is not touching OOB, then he is not considered to be OOB.

Example: WR A28 is forced OOB by DB B47. He leaps from OOB, catches the ball and lands inbounds. Legal play.

A player or other person is out of bounds when any part of the person is touching anything, other than another player or game official that is on or outside the sideline or end line.
