By the same token sometimes it looks like an obvious mistake when a return man takes one back from deep in the end zone, but they are taught to count from the kickoff (hang time). If the ball gets to them quick enough then they can return it even if they are deep in the end zone.
I think Brandon Tate used to get excited and count too fast.
