'More For Me!' Falcons Returner Avery Williams Talks New NFL Rule, Injury Recovery

Amidst the chaos of player arrivals and departures, the NFL offseason constitutes a time of change within the league's rulebook - and one may prove particularly beneficial to the Atlanta Falcons. The rule comes after the NFL had the lowest kick return rate - 22 percent - in league history last season while injury concerns remain prevalent in the league's office. "It's more returns for me," Williams said. Williams, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has 39 kick returns to his name - 23 in 2021 and 16 in 2022 - for 803 yards and an average of 20.6 yards per return.
