The N.F.L.'s new dynamic kickoff seeks to revitalize kickoff returns while simultaneously addressing player safety, as prior rule changes significantly decreased action and excitement.
Last year's kickoff returns occurred only about once every four plays, leading the league to implement new rules aiming to restore excitement to the play.
While the N.F.L. claims the changes successfully reduced concussions, they attribute injury decreases primarily to the reduction in actual kickoff returns.
With the upcoming season opener, the league's new kickoff rules aim to maintain excitement by increasing return rates while minimizing the risk of injury.
