NFL competition committee to recommend catch rule changes
Credit: The Associated PressWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The NFL's catch rule would get less complicated if team owners approve recommendations from the powerful competition committee.
One of the first orders of business when the league's annual meetings begin Monday in Orlando, Florida, will be a proposal by the committee to clarify what is a catch. Commissioner Roger Goodell said during the week of the Super Bowl he would urge simplification of the rules.
"Catch/no catch is at the top of everyone's minds," Troy Vincent, the NFL's football operations chief, said Wednesday before outlining the committee's recommendations.
