The NFL will be implementing a new kickoff set up this season. Due to rule changes that may force the kicker to be potentially more involved in stopping a returner, there have been rumblings that some teams have considered letting more physically experienced players take over kickoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs were the first to consider the change as they are expected to have safety Justin Reid handle their kickoff duties, and now it looks as though the Los Angeles Rams may be following their lead.
Speaking on his podcast Daily Grind co-hosted by his wife, WR Cooper Kupp has revealed that he will be kicking for the Rams kickoff unit in Detroit on Sunday Night Football.
