Baldy Breakdown: Alvin Kamara has cat's balance, reflexes

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a special talent. He’s thrived through his first two seasons in the NFL thanks to a rare blend of athleticism and refined skills, punishing opponents from all over the field. Kamara’s exploits were highlighted by NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, a retired offensive lineman who appeared in 149 games over his 11-year career.

“What separates (Kamara) from every other back, and every other player in the league,” Baldinger said, “is his balance. He’s got the balance of a cat on a marble table. It shows up all the time. And when he comes out of (contact) he’s as smooth as silk.
