Just in: Travis Kelce Reveals Why Harrison Butker May Not Be Doing Kickoffs for the Chiefs.
Harrison Butker might have a new role for the Kansas City Chiefs when the NFL season kicks off in the fall — but it’s probably not for the reasons you think.
On the Wednesday, June 5 episode of his podcast, “New Heights,” Travis Kelce explained why the Chiefs are considering morphing the role of Butker, 28, given the new NFL kickoff rules that were announced in March.
“Obviously it’s not because Harrison can’t do it,” Travis, 34, explained. “He’s one of the best guys in the league at doing it. He’s got one of the best legs in the game. He typically kicks it into the stands, through the end zone when he does kick off.
Two returners will be permitted in the “landing zone,” the area between the goal line and the 20-yard line.
In essence, the new rules are aimed at kickoff returns becoming a more prominent part of the game again, which also means kickers potentially becoming more involved in tackling.
As Travis explained, the Chiefs “don’t want Butker in those situations.”
Instead, Travis said the Chiefs are considering using safety Justin Reid on kickoffs. “He has a great leg,” Travis noted. “And he just so happens to be one of our best tacklers on the team.”
In fact, Reid, 27, made an extra point in a 2022 game against the Arizona Cardinals after Butker was sidelined with an injury
