One of the most controversial rules in the NFL might be getting a face-lift this offseason, to the benefit of all.
NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent gave an interview on Tuesday and gave indications that the competition committee would be making updates to the NFL so-called “catch rule.” This rule has been criticized from numerous angles over the years as the NFL has tried to define what exactly is a catch.
Now the NFL seems to be nearing a decision on simplifying the rule.
According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, Vincent said the NFL plans to eliminate two factors that can cause incompletions.
