That’s one thing I loved about Reggie Bush. He was a mismatch no matter where you lined him up at because he was faster than most cornerbacks. Teams always had to keep an eye on him because he was a big play waiting to happen. The best decoy we’ve ever had. He was ahead of his time.

Also, I don’t always like the routes Payton calls for Kamara out of the backfield. He’s used a check down to often. Send him on the Texas route. Send him on a a streak from back there. Get more creative. But nah...Kamara definitely isn’t a WR.
