No it's not. Been legal for a while.
Wrong. You can push. You cannot pull.
Quote:Approved Ruling 9-3-2
I. In trying to gain yardage, ball carrier A44 is slowed by defensive players attempting to make the tackle. Back A22 (a) puts his hands on the buttocks of A44 and pushes him forward; (b) pushes the pile of teammates who begin to surround A44; © grabs the arm of A44 and tries to pull him forward for more yardage. RULING: (a) and (b) Legal. It is not a foul to push the ball carrier or the pile. © Foul for assisting the runner. 5-yard penalty with three-and-one enforcement. (Rule 9-3-2-b)
