A section on the evolution of the pass interference rule would be informative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.124.143.3 (talk) 18:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This rule is the most confusing one in football to me, because it seems completely subjective as to what is and is not valid interference. Even commentators disagree about when interference has occurred. I am particularly confused by this sentence from the article:

In college and pros the defender may make contact with receiver within the first five yards.

The first five yards of what? Could someone please clarify? Sdpurdy (talk) 17:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, do you think we should add famous cases of pass interference, such as in the 2002 Orange Bowl with pass interference calls that had a great effect on the game? Ultimate Somnia (talk) 04:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
