You're right, there is technically no neutral zone in the NFL, just Canadian football. They're lined up offsides.

I can't think of any reason why circumstances would force someone to violate that rule unless someone's own teammate or a strong gust of wind shoved him forward.

I can give you a dumber one, at least in my opinion. Holding on a run play. There is no reason for it. There is no reason to be lined up offsides either so it's a close call. I only give the nod to holding on run plays because it hurts the team more and has no meaningful advantage.
