Alvin Kamara

Earlier this year, people were questioning whether Alvin Kamara was going to hold out for a new contract. That ended up not happening and Kamara proved loyalty to the team. They rewarded him with a massive contract at the beginning of the year.

Alvin Kamara has been the topic of heated discussion as the best running back in the NFL. In this game, he proved just that again. He might not have had huge rushing numbers, but No. 41 still leads the Saints in rushing and receiving yards.

Two weeks ago against the 49ers, Kamara only rushed for 15 yards, but he did rush for two touchdowns. He also led the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns with seven receptions for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Alvin Kamara is on pace to be the best non-quarterback offensive player in the league this year. Yes, Kamara is that good. You, as Saints’ fans, should 100 percent be thankful for the performance you’re getting for the money that is being forked over to pay Kamara.
