Troy Vincent: Modification (Not Elimination) For Kickoff On Table For 2018
Today is day two of a scheduled two-day league summit gathering a collective of owners, coaches, officials, former players, and representation from the NFLPA to discuss matters pertaining to player safety. Yesterday was dedicated to ironing out some of the final details of the newly-approved lowering of the helmet rule that many expect to fundamentally change the but, but which likely will not.
Today will be dedicated to discussing the future of the kickoff, and people such as former Pro Bowl special teamer Steve Tasker will be present. While he said that he believes that the death of the kickoff is just around the corner, he also expressed optimism in coming up with an exciting alternative.
