The Buccaneers haven’t seen the true Alvin Kamara.

If there is one thing that we have noticed this year, it’s that Alvin Kamara earned the massive contract he got this offseason. He led the team in rushing yards, rushes, rushing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.

It did seem to be a different story against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers though. He struggled getting going in the first game of the season. He ran for only 16 yards in that game. He did revive his performance with five receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown though.

In the next game that was in the middle of the season, he ran for 40 yards and a touchdown, but he only caught five passes for nine yards. Looking at both of those performances, I would say the Buccaneers have yet to see the true Alvin Kamara.

This Kamara I am talking about is a true warrior. The Kamara Saints fans see is the one against Green Bay who caught 13 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Or even the Kamara we saw just two weeks ago that ran 22 times for 155 yards and six touchdowns!
