NFL Minute: Kamara as edge rusher shows pros, cons of Pro Bowl

The biggest trend of the 2019 NFL Pro Bowl was players playing out of position.

Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey caught a touchdown pass, Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans recorded an interception, and the Giants’ Saquon Barkley plus the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott gave defense a shot at linebacker and defensive back.

However, one of the factors of that made Tim Benz nervous. That came when Saints running back Alvin Kamara lined up as an edge rusher opposite of the Titans’ offensive tackle Taylor Lewan.

The circumstances put Lewan in a lose-lose situation. Either he pancakes Kamara and looks like a jerk or he lets the speedster by him uninhibited and gets embarrassed.
