While the calendar hasn’t quite flipped to that time, a couple of changes were floated this week before the NFL convened on Indianapolis for the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine.
NFL Media’s Jeremy Bergman posted a roundup Tuesday about rule changes that could be considered by the NFL Competition Committee, which is made up of two owners, club presidents, general managers and head coaches.
Proposed changes will be presented to owners of all 32 teams, and a rule change requires approval from at least 24 owners (75 percent).
Bergman cited reporting by NFL Network’s Judy Battista that the NFL Competition Committee could change defensive pass interference from a spot-of-the-foul assessment to a 15-yard mark off, which is the price paid by college defenders who commit pass interference.
