I thought they instituted the current rules to limit kickoff returns because kickoffs are violent?
Kickoffs aren’t inherently dangerous, it is the high-speed impacts that come from a 20-30 yard sprinting head start in blocks on a kickoff that were causing the concussion levels the NFL didn’t like.
This rule change eliminates those high-speed impacts and provides an opportunity to keep returns in the game while nearly eliminating head injuries.
