No. 3: Swap Offenses and Defenses

Just imagine Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller lining up to throw a pass. What if we could watch wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. try his lot as a pass-rusher?

Here’s the scoop — players must abandon their original position, and side of the ball, for something else.

It would be too difficult to master (aside from injuries, of course, but this entire slideshow is based on non-injury stuff). A wide majority of NFL pros played different positions back in high school and, at times, while at the collegiate level.

Sure, the game would be sloppy. But who cares? It’s not as if the Pro Bowl is great and watchable as it is now.

So let the players change things up a bit and try out some different positions on the other side of the line of scrimmage.
