Keanu Neal is, objectively, extremely fun to watch. He hits like a truck with revenge on its mind, he runs like a deer, and he is always around the ball, which means he’ll deliver a couple of highlight-reel tackles per game. That style means he’s also at risk of being penalized under the NFL’s new, poorly-enforced helmet rule, and we saw that happen against the Chiefs.
You’ll see Neal arrive a split second after Brooks Reed made contact and lead with his shoulder here. If you were watching this from an extreme distance, you might assume he had led with his helmet and deserved a 15 yard penalty.
