Saints running back Alvin Kamara wins Pepsi Rookie of the Week

running back Alvin Kamara's stellar performance in last Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has earned him another award.

After winning the FedEx Ground Player of the Week on Thursday, Kamara added the Pepsi Rookie of the Week on Friday.

In the 30-10 win over Tampa Bay, Kamara totaled 152 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns. His 33-yard receiving touchdown might've been his most impressive play of the year as he evaded a handful of defenders and showed great balance.

A third-round pick, Kamara has been a dynamic playmaker for the Saints this season.
