After previously working on the language to define what will constitute a hip-drop tackle, the NFL and competition committee are submitting a proposal that would result in the play being called for a 15-yard penalty if it gets approved.
The proposal was made on Wednesday, with the language noting a penalty would be called if a player grabs a runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms and "unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee."
The hip-drop tackle is one of three rule changes being proposed by the competition committee.
