Here’s why NFL KICKERS are hitting longer field goals in 2025 #nfl #sports #football
But I do want to tell you about this year 2025’s brand new Kball rules. What are we talking about here? The balls that they actually use for kicking. Not the one that the quarterback’s going to snap from under center. I’m talking about footballs that are specifically used for kickers and punters and all of those different situations. Now, we actually have to take this back to 1999. That was the first year that the NFL set aside specific footballs just for kicking purposes. But from 1999 to last year, 2024, these specific footballs were separated and isolated, and they literally have the letter K on them to designate there for kicking only. But these footballs were only made available to team players and representatives and equipment people only about 90 minutes before game time. So the balls would be on site. The teams would get a look at them. They’d get to brush them up. They’d get to prepare those kicking footballs. But they didn’t have them for several hours really or days prior to the actual game. Here in 2025, there’s a brand new NFL rule. And that might be the color of the football difference. You’re noticing the distance of kickers being able to nail field goals this year versus other seasons prior. Yeah. Why are we seeing like a 70 yarder that was nailed in preeason? and and how about some 60 yard kicks these days during regular season games that go an extra 10 uh uh across the across the crossbar. So, we are seeing farther kicks. All of this makes sense, but you have to understand what’s going on here. You can still only use even though the teams have these footballs well in advance. I’ll get to when they were even delivered. You can still only use water or approved Wilson brand brushes and tacky sponges. So, the rules don’t really change. You can’t do up the football any different. It’s just that you have more time to do it. And the kickers get to practice with these footballs all week long. three of them per game that they’ll bring to the actual Sunday game day or Monday night game or Thursday night football

Somewhere in here, there is a low-brow Justin Tucker joke to be made, but Iām simply too classy to make it.
QBs and Kickers should use the same ball for everything.
