Alvin Kamara is an American professional football running back for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He entered the league in 2017 after playing college football for the Tennessee Volunteers and was selected by the Saints in the third round of the draft.
Kamara is notable for his immediate and sustained impact in the NFL. He was named the NFL Rookie of the Year in 2017 and earned a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first five seasons. His career highlights include being a two-time second-team All-Pro, scoring six rushing touchdowns in a single game in 2020—a feat only one other player has achieved—and becoming the Saints' all-time rushing leader in 2024.
Recently, Kamara has been a subject of news coverage primarily concerning his playing status. In late November 2025, numerous sports and fantasy football outlets reported on his availability for a Week 12 game, reflecting the ongoing interest in his fitness and its impact on both his team and fantasy football rosters. This attention is typical for a high-profile player whose presence on the field is crucial to his team's performance.
