Chris Boswell is one of the greatest field goal kickers in the history of the game, so his job is secure. Regardless of what might happen in other areas of a kicker’s duties, the Pittsburgh Steelers have their leg. And they intend to use that leg for kickoffs under the new rules, it sounds like, while others consider alternatives.
The Kansas City Chiefs were the first team to acknowledge they are looking at potentially using non-kickers to kick off. I suggested at the time that perhaps the Steelers should do the same, given Boswell’s injury history.
