When a WR is in the "defenseless" designation, it is called unnecessary contact, which means it's in the way the DB hits the "defenseless" player, not with a certain part of the body to a certain part of the body. Basically the NFL is saying Williams does not have to come flying in with full force to break up that pas or tackle Sanders.

Well then someone needs to explain the non call on the Boyd hit if you are saying it’s not which part of the body that you hit. Which I think you are wrong about
