Alvin Kamara

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Alvin Kamara will be a “big part” of the team’s offense.

Moore called Kamara a “premiere player” who will have an outsized role in the New Orleans offense next season. This comes as Saints coaches and front office officials reportedly “look hard” at incoming rookie running back prospects. That includes a recent meeting with Boise State RB Ashton Jeantey, widely expected to be the first back off the draft board. Kamara, entering his age-30 season, could take on more of a pass-catching role if the Saints take a running back in the first or second round of the draft. Kamara has 330 receptions since the start of the 2020 season, leading all running backs over that span.
