Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers weren't totally sold on the NFL competition committee's proposal to change the kickoff rules, they decided to go along with it when the owners voted for it.
Steelers president Art Rooney II told reporters from the annual league meetings in Florida they "had some reservations" because it's such "a dramatic change" to how things have been done.
The owners voted by a 29-3 margin to approve the change for an XFL-style kickoff. Teams kicking off will have 10 non-kickers lined up at the opposing team's 40-yard line. The receiving team will line up at least seven players in the "set up zone" between their own 30- and 35-yard lines, with a maximum of two players lined up in the landing zone.
