Prospects Comments
Yahoo Sports: 4. Alvin Kamara, Tennessee — 5-10, 214 — Low-mileage, multi-tool back who could be better pro than in college
NFL Analysis: Playing in his second and final season in Knoxville, Kamara had a career-high 143 touches in 2016. He was tied for second on the team in receptions (40) and total touchdowns (13) while being Tennessee's third-leading rusher. Did a little bit of everything as the Vols' third down/pass-catching back but his tape didn't show him to be great at any one thing. His combine work was a different story, where he dominated the on-field drills and earned raves with his interviews. The Alvin Kamara hype machine is running at full capacity, but it seems difficult to project a player who's never had 20 carrries in a game or 150 touches in a season to play a role as anything more than a reserve player. He will be one of the more difficult players in this class to peg.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "He could not have gotten a better match for his talents with a play-caller and a system than what Sean Payton runs in New Orleans. What he could do with Reggie Bush out of the backfield -- run the ball, throw it to him, put him in different mismatches -- they can do with Kamara. They're gonna need that if Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram are gonna run the ball. This is what he gives them." -- Charles Davis
