The National Football League is changing things when it comes to kickoffs. In a nutshell the NFL is trying to make kickoffs safer by having rules that make lower speed collisions. It could be argued whether or not that this is better than doing away with the kickoff in the first place but player safety is what this rule is targeting.
One way or another kickoffs are going to change. If the Baltimore Ravens can find the right kick returner, they may be able to use these new rules to their favor. Speed has always been the top trait for kickoff returners, but quickness and vision could make up for a lot with the old rules.
