The NFL is in quite a conundrum when it comes to the safety of the game, and how it is played. With CTE reports running rampant from former players, and with players being bigger, faster and stronger than ever before — they had to do something.
With that said, the NFL released a new rule regarding how players will not be permitted to target the head/neck area of an opponent, nor will they be able to lead with their heads at anytime.
When this news was released to the public, many players, like Steelers offensive linemen David DeCastro and Alejandro Villanueva wondered what this would mean for offensive linemen who make helmet-to-helmet contact with their counterpart on almost every play.
