That's only if the receiver has no time to protect himself.
1. Receiver Who Has Completed a Catch. If a receiver has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself, a defensive player is prohibited from launching (springing forward and upward) into him in a way that causes the defensive player's helmet, facemask, shoulder, or forearm to forcibly strike the receiver's head, neck, or face-even if the initial contact of the defender's helmet, facemask, shoulder, or forearm is lower than the receiver's neck.
The rule below that one in the rules states that a tackler cannot lead with the crown outside of the tackle box. I am too lazy to look it up right now, though.
