NFL Considering No Kickoff
Due to high speed collisions that cause injury, the NFL is considering doing away with kickoffs in favor of something like a 4th & 10 or 15 for the scoring team at the 30 after a score.
This would be simlar to recovering an onside kick and having a chance to drive the ball if a 1st down can be made but yet would allow a punt instead of a kickoff (free kick) if the team would rather give the ball up. I would not miss kickoffs at any level but I have seen many a bad punter from a live snap. Should the NFL eliminate kickoffs in pursuit of a safer game? - ESPN
