The New Orleans Saints can’t possibly expect to replicate the success they had at the running back position in 2017 -- since, you know, no other backfield in NFL history did the things that Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara did.
But it’s safe to say the position is pretty well-stocked right now.
Ingram and Kamara became the first duo to each surpass 1,500 yards from scrimmage in the same season, while scoring a combined 26 touchdowns. Kamara became the first player in NFL history to average 7.7 yards per touch on offense with at least 200 touches, making him a front-runner for the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
