“It is totally conceivable to me that a player who is used to passes bouncing off of his hands, chest, and head might think...”hmmm the ball seemed to be a bit softer and easier to catch that time”. “

If the ball was harder, then maybe he wouldn’t have intercepted it ...

I agree. A softer ball would be easier to catch by both the offense and defense. Of course when you have Tom Brady throwing it, you'd have to say "advantage offense" even if a minor advantage were to be gained by DB's and LB's on occasions where Brady has a rare screw up.
