The NFL is evaluating more potential changes to the league's kickoff rules beginning in the 2025 season.
The league's competition committee chairman, Rich McKay, told reporters on Sunday that the league is discussing changes that could lead to more returns in 2025 and beyond. McKay, who is the CEO of the Atlanta Falcons, said that one consideration is giving teams possession at the 35-yard line instead of the 30 on touchbacks. The league is also considering moving the kickoff five yards further back, beginning the kickoff at the kicking team's own 30-yard line.
