But can one reach the ball over the line for the first down and willingly pull it back and the forward progress count at the furthest point? If a players runs and then reverses and goes back, the ball goes back. So, why would reaching the ball out be a first down if the person willing pulls it back before being down.
I thought the same thing until I saw Dak Prescott do that for the cowboys one time. He reached across the first down line then pulled it back. The NFL rules state you can do this, even though it seems very wrong.
