There is a rule change that the NFL owners did pass
0:02
and I do think it's going to impact the Bengals because it's going to impact every single team
0:06
Touchbacks will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line instead of the 30-yard line, which it previously was last year
0:12
And because of that, specifically for the Bengals, I do think that this change is a phenomenal opportunity
0:17
for Jermaine Burden to take advantage of. Now, we haven't talked about Jermaine Burden in a while on this channel
0:21
because right now there's not that much to say. I mean, everyone knows that his rookie season was dramatically underwhelming
0:28
But despite all this, the Bengals still realized that they had a really talented player that they could utilize some way
0:33
And they found during the middle of the season that that way was kickoff returns. He ended up leading the team in returns, return yardage
0:39
His average yards per return was about one and a half yards per return more than the league average
0:44
So if Burton really is on the chopping block and it's just a one more strike and you're out type situation
0:48
then he pretty much has to win this battle to become the kickoff returner again in 2025
