Dallas Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin makes his feelings clear on controversial NFL rule change

Dallas Cowboys star KaVontae Turpin has insisted that he will not take any fair catches after plans to change kickoff return rule emerged this week.

News emerged this week that the NFL competition committee is looking to make a change to the rule on kickoff returns. At the moment, all fair catches made on returns are then placed at the spot of the catch for the next play.
