Would be fun to see tested out though. Such as within the final 2:00 minutes of the 1st half and 2nd half of contests if a kick-off is to ensue or only in overtime.

It's greatly needed and will bring KRs back into the game. Instead of just being an afterthought now, it would be required watching and strategy would be key.

Yeah. Just depends on how the NFL wants to sell it's particular brand. Having a kick-off likes that every time could see returners getting the football out to the 40 yard line more often than not or scoring too much in some cases. This would in turn shorten the field length needed for QB's to pad their stats, along with their receiving targets, etc. 

This would be a unique trade off though. I think it also really goes a long way towards player safety. As the blockers can only engage one another after the ball is field and they only get a 10 yard difference between picking up speed and building up power to engage. I could see kickers getting injured more than anything from chasing after or down returners in piles and not being used to that kind of part of the game.
