It didn’t take long for opposing NFL coaches to develop a healthy respect for Alvin Kamara. The New Orleans Saints running back has shredded every defense he’s come across, leaving everyone from Pete Carroll to Bruce Arians flabbergasted with what he’s done against their best defenders.
When previewing Week 9’s rematch with Kamara (who gained 67 yards of offense against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, scoring two touchdowns), Arians offered the highest praise Kamara has received yet, saying: “I coached Marshall Faulk, and this guy’s scarier.”
Faulk, of course, is a New Orleans native who played for the Indianapolis Colts when Arians was working as their quarterbacks coach.
