Fans will witness a new layout when the NFL preseason kicks off in August when the team line up for the start.
At their annual conference in Orlando, Fla., the NFL users voted to approve an overhaul to the current start. The 10 people on the receiving team did line up on the 40-yard line of the receiving team under the new structure, and at least nine other people will line up in the” installation zone,” a five-yard space between their own 35 and 30-yard ranges. The kicker will launch the ball from the 35-yard line, as usual, but no one else can move out of their positions until the ball hits the ground or hits a player inside the landing zone.
The hope with the new kickoff is that high- speed collisions ( and any resulting concussions ) will decline. Additionally, the league would like to increase kickoff returns, to achieve that, the new rule says any kicks in the “landing zone”, between the goal line and the 20- yard- line, must be returned. Additionally, no fair catches are allowed, and touchbacks will be marked at the 30- yard line.
The new format will go into effect for one year, and changes can be made as time progresses. In 2025, the league will review the rule change.
Before the vote, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell reportedly voted in favor of the change, according to ESPN.
The new kickoff formation has a connection to the XFL in terms of the players ‘ placement on the field. More than 90 % of kickoffs were returned in two XFL seasons, according to ESPN. The NFL’s goal is 80 %.
Hip-drop tackles were also completely prohibited by the league because it found that the practice caused more injuries that caused players to miss games.
