I’d say the player was defenseless by rule. And was hit within the head and neck area.
I’ve seen a lot less get called. And yes, if that was a Bama WR I’d been raising hell.

By what rule? The only category of defenseless you could possibly argue is:
“A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.”
But I don’t think there’s any way you could say forward progress had stopped at the time of the hit. In fact it looks to me like that was a broken tackle and he would have continued running down field without the additional hit.
