With the NFL’s kickoff rule changes approved for the 2018 season, special teams have their work cut out for them this offseason.
The 2018 version of the NFL kickoff is an attempt to make the play safer by reducing the number of high-speed collisions. Special teams coordinator Brad Seely, who brings 19 years of experience coaching special teams, is glad the NFL is working to improve kickoffs instead of eliminating them altogether.
“I’m all aboard,” Seely said Wednesday. “I’m glad that they kept the kickoff in. I’m glad that we’re still going to have that play in football because I think it’s one of the most exciting plays in the game.
