"According to NCAA rules, the crossing receiver cannot purposely impede the progress of the defensive player. In both the NFL and NCAA, blocking more than a yard downfield prior to a pass being thrown is considered pass interference."

Here's the rule book, unfortunately it's in PDF format.

The NFL has an online rule book which states:

Actions that constitute offensive pass interference include but are not limited to:

(a) Blocking downfield by an offensive player prior to the ball being touched.

(b) Initiating contact with a defender by shoving or pushing off thus creating a separation in an attempt to catch a pass.

(c) Driving through a defender who has established a position on the field.

This article from SB nation has the complete opposite argument.
