If a player never touches the endzone or reaches the ball between the pylons but jumps over the imaginary line reaching out of bounds, is it ruled a touchdown? I an unable to find the exact ruling anywhere in NFL.com's rulebook.

Yes its atouch down as long as it cross the line, whether its in the air our not if he hits the pylon its a touchdown.

Yes this is a touchdown. However, many PLAYERS don't even know this, as seen by how they try to extend the ball inside the pylon instead of just crossing the goal line when they are in a race for the goal line, which isn't smart because if they fumble the ball out of the endzone it is a touchback giving the ball to the other team.

Yes. It extends all the way up and to the side. If the ball is inside the pylon it is a touch down not out side. The Large White line tells the out of bounds area.

If he jumps the line and touches down out of bounds it's not a touchdown. The end zone line goes around the end zone not beyond it.
