Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Justin Reid has some experience with kicking, having attempted seven kickoffs in his NFL career, and is slated to become the Chiefs' go-to for kickoffs next season.
Justin Reid has spent much of his NFL career trying to prevent receivers from catching the football or scoring touchdowns. But the Kansas City Chiefs safety says he's now preparing to enter the next phase of his career — handling kickoffs. The two-time Super Bowl champion defensive back says he is slated to become the Chiefs' go-to for kickoffs in 2024. Kicker Harrison Butker has been the team's primary option for kickoffs since he arrived in 2017.
The new rules will effectively discourage teams from kicking the ball into the opposite end zone for a touchback, which should also increase the frequency of returns. Reid has seven career kickoff attempts as he has filled in for Butker at times when the kicker was out due to injury. Reid touted his tackling ability when discussing potential advantages he could have on kickoffs. 'The advantage for us is that if I’m doing the job — which is what we’re planning on doing — then I can fill that last gap, so it makes it a little bit easier and nobody needs to win two gaps,' Reid said on a recent episode of the podcast 'Green Light with Chris Long.' Butker will now be able to focus solely on field goals. 'We’re in a great place with it,' Reid said.
