Hold this. Holding is something linemen and defensive backs do in particular. It's a part of the game. Coaches tell players don't grab the other player Or his Jersey. But games happen. If it doesn't get seen or called it wasn't holding. Players on All teams do it. Blatant seen violations are nearly always called. Many aren't seen. If it looks like hands are open but not grabbing or pulling it may not get called by some officials.
