Team Carter’s Outside Linebacker squad features NFL sack leader Justin Houston who had 22 sacks in 2014, Connor Barwin with 14.5 sacks, and Tamba Hali with six bringing the team total to 42.5 sacks. Team Irvin’s Outside Linebacker squad of Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, and Clay Matthews finished the 2014 season with 42 sacks combined, giving Team Carter the narrow half sack advantage on Team Irvin.

Tamba Hali was asked about the possibility of having to hit a teammate, similar to Derrick Johnson‘s hit on Jamaal Charles in the 2013 Pro Bowl, and Hali said.

"“I’m pretty sure I (wouldn’t),” Hali said. “I don’t know what was going on with DJ last year, but he probably was just in the moment and having fun, but there’s no reason to hit Jamaal. None. It would bring me no joy to hit a teammate.”Courtesy of Jeffrey Flanagan of Fox Sports"

While Chiefs fans are fortunate to have all of the Chiefs players on one team avoiding any friendly fire scenario, there are a few offensive players from AFC West Division rival’s on Team Irvin that may need to watch out for Hali. Most notably Running Back C.J. Anderson, Emmanuel Sanders of the Denver Broncos, and Fullback Marcel Reece of the Oakland Raiders.
