Fort Payne’s Evan McPherson is making adjustments to deal with the league’s attempt to increase kickoff returns.
In 2024, NFL kickers will continue to launch kickoffs from their 35-yard line. But their teammates won’t be lined up with them. The other kicking-team players will line up with one foot on the receiving team’s 40-yard line.
No one on the opposing lines of players can move until the football is touched by a returner or hits the ground. Kickoffs that come down between the 20 and the goal line must be returned. Touchbacks still exist, with possession starting at the receiving team’s 30-yard line, but the ball must be downed by the receiving team if it doesn’t go past the end line.the Bengals’ official website after working with the new rules for the first time during Cincinnati’s offseason program.
But McPherson probably won’t have to make more tackles. Because the kicker can’t cross the 50-yard line until the ball is caught or downed under the new rules, he probably will continue to be what he is now – the last man between the football and the goal line on a breakaway return.
