HOUSTON \u2013 Texans coach DeMeco Ryans is the latest addition to the prestigious NFL competition committee.<\/p>\n
Ryans is now part of a committee process for modifying or adopting rules and regulations.<\/p>\n
The committee reviews all competitive aspects of the game, including playing rules, rosters, technology, game-day operations and player safety.<\/p>\n
Launched in 1968 by former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, the competition committee replaced the rules committee that began in 1932. <\/p>\n
Leading up to the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, NFL Football Operations meets with coaches, general managers, players and NCAA representatives to gather their input about potential changes to the rules. There is also a review of data on injuries, instant replay and technology.<\/p>\n
Ryans was chosen by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a group that also now includes Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n
The co-chairmen are the Atlanta Falcons\u2019 Rich McKay and the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Stephen Jones.<\/p>\n
