Gunner Olszewski is no fan of people in “lab coats” messing with his livelihood and he made no bones about his displeasure with the new kickoff rules in the NFL. According to Chris Adamski from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Olszewski sounded off on the NFL’s newest attempt to make kickoffs safer by allowing players to signal for a fair catch on kickoffs. The rule gives the receiving team possession at the 25-yard line for a fair catch behind that line. The rule aims to lessen the amount of kick returns, which reportedly lead to more injuries, specifically concussions.
