Alvin Kamara
He received plenty of hype from me and others leading up to this season. He’s better than I anticipated and takes home this honor. Kamara has been dynamite in the ground game and as a receiver averaging 7.3 yards per touch. He also leads the Saints with five touchdowns and has brought a diversity to the offense for a rookie unlike any we’ve seen since Reggie Bush. And Kamara has been much better than Bush through their respective first eight games with the Saints.
Cam Jordan
I dubbed him the best overall defensive end in the NFL a couple of weeks ago.
