It isn’t very often that the NFL makes a major rule change, usually only minor tweaks here or there. However, this offseason saw maybe one of the biggest rule changes the NFL enacted in quite some time in overhauling the kickoff rules in order to better protect players and make kickoffs more exciting again. In the past few years, it’s felt like the kick return game had become more and more boring, with many players electing to receive the ball at the 25-yard line rather than attempting to run the ball back for a touchdown. According to one current Steelers captain, these rules are even receiving special attention this offseason.
