The NFLPA Strongly Opposes New Rule Change Proposal
The NFL Players Association is pushing back against a proposed rule change to eliminate hip-drop tackles in the league. The proposal would penalize these tackles with an automatic first down and a 15-yard penalty. Hip-drop tackles are defined as when a player grabs or wraps the runner with both arms, then unweights themselves by dropping their hips and lower body, trapping the runner’s legs. The rule change is up for a vote, and the Players Association is advocating for a thorough review and potential adjustments before it is approved.
