Yes. As a general rule, players with a uniform number of 50-79 or 90-99 are not permitted to catch the ball. However, there are scenarios where it is eligible. The main occurrence requires the lineman to declare their intention to catch the ball to the referee, who then makes a stadium wide announcement. Additionally, an offensive lineman can take possession of a fumble and score a touchdown, under certain circumstances.
Notable examples:
Yes, he intercepted a St. Louis Rams pass in week 4 of the 2009 season.
Both defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones and offensive lineman Phil Pozderac were 6-feet, 9-inches tall.
