Earlier this offseason, the NFL approved a new kickoff model that will completely change kickoffs moving forward. They adopted the way the XFL had kickoffs and it should lead to more returns, excitement, big plays, and likely more touchdown returns.
With this new rule in place, head coaches and special teams coaches are spending a lot of time watching tape and coming up with ideas to gain an advantage with this new rule. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton and veteran special teams coach Mike Westhoff are doing just that and sound excited about the potential of this new rule.
