Based on what? Your feeling for the rules?
Goddamn. The rules are available online:
(a) Players in a defenseless posture are:
A receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or
has not clearly become a runner. If the receiver/runner is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending
contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player
