Many happy returns? The removal of kickoff returns from the NFL

Marvin Mims Jr. was just selected to the Pro Bowl as the AFC return specialist. It’s been a long time since the Denver Broncos had an elite return guy. Mims has one of the four total KOR touchdowns this season. He took it 99 yards to house in the loss to the Chiefs early in the season.

Because of the serious injuries that were found to occur on kickoff returns, the NFL decided to change the rules to allow fair catches on any KOR to be brought out to the 25 (or spotted where it was caught ahead of the 25) .
