NFL Revamps Rules: Touchbacks and Overtime Changes

The NFL introduces new touchback and overtime rules, enhancing game excitement ahead of the NFL Draft featuring Cam Ward.

The NFL has announced significant rule changes during league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, on April 4, 2025. A key adjustment is the modification of touchback rules, moving the starting position for touchbacks from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line. This change aims to encourage more kickoff returns, which saw an increase from 21.8% to 32.8% last season. The league hopes to elevate the return rate to between 60% and 70%, enhancing game excitement while reducing injuries from high-speed collisions.

In addition to the touchback rule, the NFL has revamped its overtime rules, ensuring both teams will have a chance to possess the ball in regular-season overtime, similar to the current postseason format. Other procedural changes include allowing virtual meetings with prospective free agents during the legal tampering period and adjustments to injured reserve designations. Discussions on the `tush push` play and onside kick rules have been tabled for further deliberation in May.

As the NFL Draft approaches on April 24, teams are preparing for critical decisions that could shape their futures. The Tennessee Titans hold the first overall selection, with standout player Cam Ward expected to be a top prospect after an impressive college season with 4,313 passing yards and 39 touchdowns. The excitement surrounding the draft and new rule changes reflects the NFL`s commitment to evolving the game for players and fans alike. For more details, visit NFL news and NFL draft.
