Danny Smith is focused on the present. Making the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers’ special teams as good as they can be. Right now, they’re among the best in football. But he knows things could look different in 2025, especially regarding the NFL’s kickoff rule changes.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday, Danny Smith revealed he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before Monday night’s Steelers-Giants game to talk about the future of kickoffs.
“The commissioner was at the game on Monday night. He and I had a conversation before the game about that very thing,” Smith said via the team website on the topic of kickoffs.
