Alvin Kamara trying to perfect routes like a receiver

Through three games, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara ranks third in the NFL with 30 receptions.

Last Sunday, in an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons, Kamara had 15 rushes and 15 receptions, becoming just the second player in the Super Bowl era to accomplish that feat, joining Minnesota Vikings running back Rickey Young from 1979.

When the Saints drafted Kamara last year, it was clear they would feature him in the passing game, but his approach shows why he's been more effective as a receiver than many running backs thus far in his young career.
