The NFL approved a new rule early Wednesday to move touchbacks on kickoffs to the 25-yard line
The chances of scoring a touchdown are only slightly higher if you have a drive start at the 25-yard line as opposed to the 20-yard line. According to Indianapolis Punter/Kick-off Specialist Pat McAfee he said ti is about a one percent better chance. He made those comments on The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday morning after the NFL approved a new rule on touchbacks.
The NFL is going to experiment with bringing the ball out to the 25-yard line after a touchback on kickoffs.
