A guy could take an angle to the side lines, basically long jump 15 feet, and gain 5 yards with no one being able to hit him.
Conceivably, but what doesn’t make since is in punts out of bounds they mark it where the ball crosses the boundary in the air.. more or less.. it’s confusing. For sure.

Because as that point, the ball is not being possessed by either team.

B/c a punt is a loose ball and if any part of your body is OOB when you touch the ball, even if the ball is in the field of play, the ball is declared OOB and the play is over.
