Though no rules will be changed or fully examined right now, the NFL is already mulling key tweaks to several rules for the 2025 NFL season. As shared by NFL.com’s Judy Battista, league competition co-chairman Rich McKay walked through a host of possible alterations for next season, varying from the new dynamic kickoff to replay assist.
Per Battista, McKay says the committee will consider changing the kickoff or touchback spot in order to entice more returns.
NFL Competition Comm co-chair Rich McKay said league will look at both moving the spot of the touchback to the 35 yard line and moving the kickoff line back 5 yards in an effort to boost returns.
