The NFL owners voted to ban hip-drop tackles starting in 2024, sparking player backlash. Steelers LB Patrick Queen, Saints DE Cam Jordan, Dolphins S Javon Holland, Bungals CB Mike Hilton, Falcons S Micah Abernathy, Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley, Texans S Adrian Amos, Cardinals RB Michael Carter II, and ex-NFL player JJ Watt are among those not happy with the change. The rule is aimed at reducing injuries and will result in a penalty and automatic first down for any player using the banned technique.
