"The best way to get a full understanding of the rule is to look at the rule itself as it is listed in the NFL rulebook. You can find the exact language in the rulebook below.
A runner may ward off opponents with his hands and arms but no other player on offense may use hands or arms to obstruct an opponent by grasping with hands, pushing, or encircling any part of his body during a block. Hands (open or closed) can be thrust forward to initially contact an opponent on or outside the opponent’s frame, but the blocker immediately must work to bring his hands on or inside the frame."
seriously dude ... stop quoting me .... im really starting think you got fucked up alot in football LOL
how dumb can you really be to ask if a blocker can grab a defender legally???
nigga you didnt ever play football in your life ... and if you did, YOU NEVER ONCE GOT INTO A GAME OUTSIDE OF THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES OF IT
ill accept your sensitive crying because your feminine side wants to express itself over the net. but lets just make it clear that you know nothing about football.
if anyone who even knows the basics of football would like to further discuss this ... please, by all means make a post LOL
now we really know who has never played a down. OL grab inside of the pads EVERY DOWN. like the other guy said once its outside the pads or used to obstruct then its holding.

Definition: A foul in which an offensive player keeps a defender from advancing by grasping him with his hands or arms. Offensive linemen are allowed to use their hands as long as they keep them to the inside of a defenders body, but if they get to the outside of the defender's body, it is a penalty.

LEGAL BLOCK BY OFFENSIVE PLAYER
Article 3 An offensive player is permitted to block an opponent by contacting him with his head, shoulders,
hands, and/or outer surface of the forearm, or with any other part of his body.
A blocker may use his arms, or open or closed hands, to contact an opponent on or outside the opponent’s
frame (the body of an opponent below the neck that is presented to the blocker). If a blocker’s arms or
hands are outside an opponent’s frame, it is a foul if the blocker materially restricts him. The blocker
immediately must work to bring his hands inside the opponent’s frame, and as the play develops, the
blocker is permitted to work for and maintain his position against an opponent, provided that he does not
illegally clip or illegally push from behind.
