I was just reading over the article on Panthers.com about Raheem Blackshear, when I skimmed across something that (at first) didn't jump out at me. After feeling I had missed something, I scanned the paragraph again and found this about the "New NFL Rule".
Am I living in a bucket, or did anyone else not know about this "new rule".

By the way, good article on Blackshear there as well. It's always great to see an undrafted player do good things in the NFL. I always think back to Brad Hoover and the career he had.

Quote:With the NFL's new kickoff rule, allowing the ball to be placed at the 25-yard line on kickoffs if a fair catch is called behind the 25-yard line, Blackshear knows fewer opportunities could be around for players looking for roster spots.
The rule, which has been used in college football since 2018, could also help mitigate the chance of injury on kickoffs, and Blackshear said he sees that benefit as well. But his overall thoughts were a fitting statement coming from someone who benefitted from a special teams opportunity as an undrafted rookie last year.
