Yes I know the idea is to discourage that and force the kicker to try and  put the ball between the 20 and end zone.  I guess if teams continue to kick into or out of the end zone they'll move it to the 40 next year.  


 

You know what was a pretty dynamic kickoff? Kickoffs before they moved the ball forward which let every random jagoff reliably kick it out the back of the endzone. The ball only came out to the 20 on a touchback, and at the very least when they still had 2 man wedges instead of none. Electric guys like Hester and Cribbs who just can't exist in today's NFL.

2007-2010 there were 135 total return TDs.
2021-2024 there were 45 total return TDs.
