The hard part about losing the kickoff is taking away the onside kick. I know there are a bunch of contrived ways to do try to come to the same result, but it's not the same really.

I honestly like the XFL (or is it USFL? idk and idc) rule where you can choose to go for a fourth and 20 or something after scoring

Studies showed that a disproportionate amount of injuries occurred on kickoffs, so they wanted to find ways to mitigate the speed of collisions between players. They did so by more or less eliminating them.
Move the kickoff line to the -30 yd line or whatever it was. But move the line for the coverage players to the 50 or even the plus side of the field, so they don't get 5 seconds of running start. (Figure out whatever you need to figure out for onsides kicks) Think out of the box.

onside kicks have effectively been legislated out too. not sure why they would keep them

huh just discovered this. apparently the NFL and XFL have a collaboration agreement: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears ... eement-nfl
I actually can see the NFL adopting the kickoff rules from the XFL now (kicking team starts only 10 yards away from receiving team, 4th and 15 "onside kick", etc)

college does this. it's finenew rule just passed: if the ball lands between the 25 and end zone, the returner can fair catch it and they then get the ball at the 25
kick returns are slowly dying. Would be surprised if they exist at all in 10 years

And no Thursday games, except Thanksgiving and those teams all have to have byes in the week prior.If they were serious about injury reduction they'd make every stadium have a natural field.

I am devoid of knowledge here but I don't think the image looks weird or that he doesn't look like a quarterback out of college which I'm assuming he is. He's kinda skinny is that it
