As competitive as he may be, Taylor Lewan's main goal while playing in the Pro Bowl mirrors that of every other participant, as - fire and foremost - he'd like to head back to the locker room with his ligaments in tact. Therefore, there's not all that much to take away from a clip that is basically just proof positive that the NFL's All Star Game is a complete waste of everyone's time. If there were a reward that matched the risk of putting actual effort into blocking someone who is entirely unfamiliar with playing the opposing position then Alvin Kamara's nose-ring would more than likely be piercing his asshole right about now. That's pretty much indisputable. 

That being said, I still think the ease with which the do-it-all playmaker bent the edge was a testament to a level of athleticism that has appeared absolutely effortless since Alvin Kamara's first preseason appearance. I don't necessarily know for a fact what his recess resume looks like, but I have very little doubt he was the kid who was annoyingly unbeatable at everything. Obviously he'd need to suffer from a decade-long addiction to steroid-infused beignets before he was capable of providing a 300-pound behemoth a worthy opponent, but specialization is probably the only thing that stops his freakish fluidity from being applicable on the opposite side of the ball. Personally, I'd rather not see the insanely versatile lynchpin to the Saints' offense rush the passer in a meaningless game that was all-but-over, but - after having watched him do so unscathed - it's impossible to not appreciate how gifted he is as a football player, as opposed to just a "running back".
