Troy Vincent: NFL Considering 'Modifying' Kickoffs Ahead of 2018 Season

As college football continues to make the game safer by tweaking kickoff rules, the NFL may follow suit.

Per NFL.com's Judy Battista, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent recently revealed that while the league will not eliminate kickoffs in 2018, it will consider modifying the rules.

Last month, the NCAA approved a new rule that would allow players to signal for fair catches anywhere inside the 25-yard line and have it result in touchbacks. Back in 2012, college football looked to encourage touchbacks by moving kickoffs from the 30-yard line to the 35 and also place touchbacks at the 25-yard line rather than the 20.

The game requires a constant flow of new players. Parents are pulling their kids out of football in droves because of the head injury issue. If that trend continues the game will die. Do you get it ?
