Some new body types and skillsets could be featured in the kick returner role beginning in 2024.
This offseason, the NFL made a significant rule change which will make kick returns a huge part of the game.
Maybe the most intriguing part of this change is where the kickoff team will line up. The kicking team will now set up at the return team's 40-yard line, however, the 10 players cannot move until the ball hits the ground or the player in the landing zone catches it. The kicker cannot cross the 50-yard line until the ball is caught or touches the ground.
