It's the reason kickers try to make the ball hit the ground first before popping it up. Once it has touched the ground, the fair catch rule is off.Comment

That's a brilliant play by the guy calling the fair catch!Comment

That is what I thought but that article says in college they still can fair catch. Pretty sure NFL it is fair game once it is driven into the ground off the tee.Originally posted by BroncoLifer View PostComment

Not sure they can. If it hits the ground then they fair catch but the ball just keeps rolling back how do they spot it? That just becomes a player waving off his team not to touch the ball.Originally posted by DD55 View Post
invalid fair catch for NCAA :
ARTICLE 3. An invalid signal is any waving signal by a player of Team B:a. That does not meet the requirements of Article 2 (above); or
b. That is given after a scrimmage kick is caught beyond the neutral zone, strikes the ground or touches another player beyond the neutral zone (A.R. 6-5-3-III-V); or
c. That is given after a free kick is caught, strikes the ground or touches another player. [Exception: Rule 6-4-1-f]
anyone would just fair catch once the ball hits the ground on any onside kick
