Of course players still do it. Doesn't mean they aren't strong discouraged not to. No coach in their right mind knows these rules and wouldn't discourage them from taking this risk. You showed a few examples... A linebacker who doesn't know any better and a few receivers taking a safe lunge forward. Nowhere near the risk of Higgins reaching out while a defender is torpedo ing towards him.
