Take a good look at Alvin Kamara, football fans, because he’s probably someone you’ll be seeing and hearing a lot from for years to come. He’s hard to miss, too. He’s the one with the gold teeth and the bullring nose piercing during the game, the one leaping over defenders and making electric runs.
The Saints picked Kamara, the University of Tennessee running back, in the third round, No. 67 overall in the draft last April. Now 12 games into his career, he’s compiled 606 rushing yards and 614 receiving yards and 11 total touchdowns, filling the role of Reggie Bush or Darren Sproles in the Saints offense.
