THE Alabama Crimson Tide won the recruitment battle for his talents, but he was red in 2013 and transferred after the season to the Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.

In the draft in charge of the 2017 NFL, Kamara landed with New Orleans in the third round after a business with the 49ers of San Francisco. Kamara was also part of a spectacular draft for the saints which included Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk, Marcus Williams and Trey Hendrickson. It was also a spectacular project for the NFL running backs which included Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Kareem Hunt, Onta Foreman and James Connor. Kamara surpassed them all, heading for a place in Pro Bowl and the price of the offensive recruit of the year 2017. He had 1,901 versatile yards as a recruit, including 1554 melee and 14 affected. It would just be a warning sign of things to come for the versatile return.
In eight seasons with New Orleans, Kamara had less than 1,300 meters of the fray only once (1,160 in 2023) while torturing the defenses as a runner and receiver. Kamara already has the career records of all time in New Orleans in the yards on the ground, the affected on the ground, the total of the touchs, the total of the meters and each major reception category for a ball carrier. Maybe his most impressive record came a Christmas match in 2020 against the Minnesota Vikings. In this victory, Kamara rushed to six affected, equaling a set of records in a NFL match and unequaled since 1929.
Despite defensive attention and sometimes in the past two years with little help, Alvin Kamara remains one of the most productive versatile threats in the NFL. Kamara will continue to be the main weapon of Kellen Moore, as a career brought to a career for the temple of professional football.
