Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter could be a big beneficiary of the NFL's new kickoff rules in the eyes of one personnel director when he takes the step up to the next level, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The personnel official told Schultz that Hunter will be a "major" playmaker with how the league is approaching kickoffs now.
The NFL instituted a number of rules in the name of player safety that effectively neutralized the traditional return specialist. Too many kicks ended in touchbacks and coverage teams were increasingly unable to create space for the returner.
