[Maske] The NFL wants to ‘modernize’ the punt, and it’s taking suggestions

make it similar to how the xfl used to do first ball possession.

1.Regardless of field position, have the ball placed at the 50.

2.Then have the entire special teams lineup at the goal line.

3.Have a whistle/bell/light/w.e signify the start of the play.

4.Then the entire special teams will rush toward the ball to try and retrieve possession.

  1. If the punter/kicker retrieves it, the team will get awarded 1 point for humiliation.

Sounds pretty modern and edgy imo. Or just don't change it at all because it isn't necessary and teach professional punters to kick out of bounds to limit injuries
