From the NFL Rulebook:

LEGAL BLOCK BY OFFENSIVE PLAYER
Article 2: Legal Block by Offensive Player. An offensive player is permitted to block an opponent by contacting him with his head, shoulders, hands, and/or outer surface of the forearm, or with any other part of his body that is not prohibited by another rule.
A blocker may use his arms, or open or closed hands, to contact an opponent on or outside the opponent’s frame (the body of an opponent below the neck that is presented to the blocker), provided that he does not materially restrict him. The blocker immediately must work to bring his hands inside the opponent’s frame, and as the play develops, the blocker is permitted to work for and maintain his position against an opponent, provided that he does not illegally clip or illegally push from behind.
quote:
(c) Use his hands or arms to materially restrict an opponent or alter the defender’s path or angle of pursuit. Material
restrictions include but are not limited to: I. grabbing or tackling an opponent;
II. hooking, jerking, twisting, or turning him; or III. pulling him to the ground.
Penalty: For holding by the offense: Loss of 10 yards.
