Watching former Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins leap over the line to block a Colts extra point a few years ago was one of the more scintillating plays during that season. Ditto Shea McClellin blocking a field goal against the Ravens this past year, especially given how pivotal that play was in the Patriots victory.
Well, such plays, even though exciting to watch, may no longer exist. The NFL will discuss a proposal at the annual spring meetings next week in Phoenix that would ban players leaping over the line of scrimmage on field goal and extra point attempts.
