The New Orleans Saints star isn’t the first Tennessee football Volunteers running back to make history in the pros.

Alvin Kamara had an NFL record with six rushing touchdowns on Christmas. He carried the ball 22 times for 155 yards and added 17 receiving yards, helping the New Orleans Saints defeat the Minnesota Vikings 52-33 and further reminding everybody how grossly underused he was when playing for Tennessee football under head coach Butch Jones.
