  • The NFL has continued to explore ways to potentially improve the kickoff play, and another significant change could be implemented for the 2025 season.

The NFL's competition committee is reportedly set to propose a significant change to the kickoff rules, aiming to enhance player safety and potentially increase the excitement of the play. According to the report, the new rule would allow the receiving team to fair catch any kickoff, with the ball then being placed at the 25-yard line, similar to a touchback. This change is intended to reduce the frequency of high-speed collisions during kickoffs, which have been linked to a higher incidence of injuries. The proposal comes as part of ongoing efforts by the NFL to make the game safer while maintaining its competitive nature.
