Football What is a catch? Inbounds or out of bounds?

One of my favorite aspects of this is the difference between a toe and a heel. If a player catches the ball and drags one toe from each foot in bounds before they cross out of bounds, that is a catch in bounds. However, if a player catches the ball with one entire foot down in bounds and the second foot touches in bounds with the heel, but the rest of the foot then comes down with just the toe out of bounds, then it is not a catch as it is out of bounds. It doesn't matter that the heel came down first, only that the toe touched out of bounds.
