I'm still torn on this but I am leaning towards being against this change.
I don't mean it like they'll try to kill the WR, but it'll be pretty tiresome seeing DB's gleefully drape themselves over WRs. Maybe that wouldn't happen, it's just speculation but I know 15 yards isn't exactly a long bomb of a gain for an offense these days.
