Broncos coach Sean Payton on new kickoff rule: “You're going to see a lot more plays”

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said “significant” is a modest word when describing the league's new kickoff rule. This season, Denver and the rest of the NFL will enter uncharted waters due to the league's new kickoff rules. As the Broncos wrapped up the second day of rookie minicamp on Saturday afternoon, they simulated the changes that feature two returners, 10 kick coverage players lining up at the opposing 40-yard line and no one outside of the kicker and returner can move until the ball hits the ground or is touched by the returner inside the 20. Payton said the team is in the stage of figuring out the what-ifs of the new rule and the different landing zones.
