Even if he wasn't, he was at least at the 1 or 2 yard line and it would have been a spot foul, so the ball would still have been placed there.

This is dead wrong it's. ot NFL. NOt a spot foul it's over 15 yards down field so 15 yard penalty which would be half the distance from the 19 yea I agree it was pi no question but should have foot ball about 8 yard line and would kick fg and go to ot

It is a spot foul in college up to 15 yards, so you are the one who is wrong. Secondly, they were at the 16, not 19, so you are wrong again.

Only difference in NFL and college rule is PIs of more than 15 yards but not in the end zone.

It was less than 15 yards downfield. It would have been a spot foul.

If I'm not mistaken, on pass interference, unlike other penalties, if it's more than 15 yards downfield, the 15-yard penalty is enforced in full even if it's more than half the distance to the goal. So, for example, if the LOS is the 19 and the foul occurs at the 3 or further in, then the 15-yard penalty is marked off to the 4. Of course, in this case, it's irrelevant because the LOS was less than 15 yards from the 2, so it would have been a spot foul.
