a daily segment telling Steel or Nation what's on our minds.

Spring League meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota tomorrow, which runs from

May 22nd through the 24th. During that time, the 32 NFL owners will vote on two potential playing rules changes that were tabled at their last meeting in March.

One of these proposals put forward by the competition committee would put the ball in play at the receiving team's 25-yard line if

there's a fair catch on a free kick, kickoff and safety kick, behind the

receiving team's 25-yard line. In non-lawyer speak that means that if the punt returner signals for a fair

catch between the 25-yard line and his own end zone his team will start on their

own 25-yard line for the next drive. That's a huge advantage for the receiving team and could essentially eliminate the chance for a punting team to pin their opponents

defense deep in their own territory at the start of their next drive.

The argument put forth by the league in support of this rule is a concern for

player safety and decreasing concussions. But the publicly available data

doesn't really back that up. In 2022 99.3% of kickoffs occurred with no concussion sustained by any player.

Of the 19 kickoff returns where a concussion did occur,

only one was to the player returning the ball.
