The NFL owners approved placing the ball on the 25 yard line for kickoffs fair caught before the 25 yard line.
So you get the ball where you get stopped if you run it back. If the ball is short of the end zone and you fair catch the ball starts on the 25. Takes some strategy out of the game. And certainly minimizes the need for a kick return specialist
