Grabbing is not specifically defined. Blocking and impeding are
Blocking Downfield: If the ball is still in the air and the receiver makes contact resembling a block (rather than trying to catch the ball), this is OPI because receivers cannot block defenders before the ball is caught.
Impeding the Defender: If the receiver initiates significant contact that prevents the defender from having a fair opportunity to play the ball, it’s OPI.
