If one were building the “perfect running back” in a lab, and the category of contact balance was in question, it wouldn’t be long before Alvin Kamara’s name came about as a potential answer. Matching the Saints’ throwback gold uniforms with a vintage play of his own, New Orleans’ all-time great running back sped towards the sidelines before breaking a tackle and walking the tightrope on a go-ahead touchdown run in Week 1. The Arizona Cardinals’ execution won out in a 20-13 result on Sept. 7, 2025, but Kamara’s near-decade-long contributions were again a bright spot, even in defeat, as he turned 13 touches into 57 yards and a score.
