The Green Bay Packers were one of three teams to vote against the NFL’s new kickoff rules, which passed during the Annual Meeting by a 29-3 vote.
Why didn’t the Packers, who have All-Pro kickoff returner Keisean Nixon, vote for the change?
Team president Mark Murphy said the team was more interested in doing a trial period during the preseason instead of jumping right into the big change to start 2024.
“Our issue was it’s such a major change, our thought was it would make sense to have a trial or experiment in the preseason,” Murphy said Tuesday.
