The rule I posted above is from the NFL rule book. Anyone who is stationary behind the line of scrimmage attempting to throw gains roughing the passer protections

So what's the college rule?

There's a provision if the "passer" is a back/receiver who receives a handoff or lateral, not sure if that's college or NFL now, but I'm too lazy to try to find it.

Pretty sure that refers to Intentional Grounding which only the original ball handler gets that protection. College rule only differs in Roughing the Passer with regards to tackling at the knee level. Both rules stipulate the "passing posture" which is only that the passer has both feet on the ground or stationary. You can't be rolling out or on the run and get the protections. I'm sure they can still call unnecessary roughness regardless.
