A.J. McCarron Says NFL Could ‘100 Percent’ Adopt Some New XFL Rules

XFL star A.J. McCarron says the NFL could “100 percent” adopt a few of Dwayne Johnson‘s new league’s rules … as a method to make the National Football League more interesting!

Of course, The Rock’s model of the XFL introduced a number of weeks back … and the video games included some extremely intriguing, new rules. For example, groups have the alternative to opt for 3 after a goal. Also, rather of an onside kick, groups have the chance to try to transform a 4th and 15. Get the lawns, and keep the ball.

Fans have actually taken pleasure in the new rules to such a degree, there’s speak about the NFL executing them. We asked the 3x National Champion and St. Louis BattleHawks QB if he thought it could really take place.

“I do, 100%,” A.J. told us.

“If you look at it, the NFL itself, a couple of years ago changed the extra point rule,” McCarron said, explaining, “They moved the extra point back because the percentages were almost 100 percent on making extra points, and so they wanted to figure out ways to make the game more interesting.”

The XFL’s rules certainly make things interesting. During Week 1, McCarron’s squad was trailing the San Antonio Brahmas 15-3 with under 2 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. But, thanks to the league’s new rules, St. Louis was able to pull off the otherwise impossible upset.

After the dub, A.J., who has been a part of some huge football games throughout his career, was visibly emotional after the come-from-behind win. McCarron explained why he’s still playing the game when he doesn’t necessarily need to do it for the money.

As for the rules really being set up … McCarron thinks the NFL could begin by changing the onside kick with the long 4th down effort, and he feels the shift would be smooth.
