XFL Kick-Off is Pretty Interesting | Is this safer? | Check Out the NEW Kick-Off
When the NFL injury data came out, they found that punts and kickoffs cause more injuries, and more serious injuries, than other plays, and the NFL was afraid of getting players hurt, so they have been looking for ways to change the game to make it safer.
“Between the punt and the kickoff, there’s a disproportionate number of concussions occurring on only a couple plays,” said Jeff Miller, NFL Executive Vice President overseeing Player Health and Safety.
The XFL may have found a way to make it safer. Today in the first game of the year for the XFL, they showed off the new XFL Kick-Off rule, and it is pretty interesting.
