Kickoff Return Formations in the NFL


The intent of this article is to gain a general idea of what return formations in the NFL look like. It does sample kickoffs from every team, but not every kickoff from the season. 

Formations

6-2-2-1  
6-2-1-2 
6-2-1-1-1 (unbalanced)
5-3-2-1   
5-3-1-2
4/2-2-2-1
  • 6-2-2-1 and 5-3-2-1 are the primary/base formations for most of the league.
  • Depth, alignments, and splits tend to be slightly different depending on game situation and opposing kicker/coverage team.
