History

Historical Context

In 1978, the NFL introduced the "Mel Blount Rule," limiting defensive contact with receivers to five yards beyond the line of scrimmage. This change aimed to boost offensive scoring, as teams averaged only 17.2 points per game in 1977. The rule shift has led to increased investment in offensive linemen, exemplified by Jermaine Eluemunor's recent three-year, $39 million contract, highlighting the ongoing evolution of the game.
