About Alvin Kamara
Alvin Kamara scored six touchdowns on Christmas Day 2020 and turned himself into a holiday tradition. Not the heartwarming kind. The kind where your fantasy football league owes you money for the rest of your life because nobody can mathematically recover from what Kamara did to the Vikings that afternoon. Six rushing touchdowns. In a single game. On Christmas. He celebrated by wearing a Santa hat, and the internet collectively decided that Kamara was the most entertaining player in football.
But Kamara was already that before the Christmas game. He's the guy who showed up to training camp with a new hair color every year, wore Willy Wonka outfits to press conferences, and somehow looked bored while making NFL linebackers miss tackles in the open field. His running style is the football equivalent of a cat walking through a room full of obstacles without touching a single one. Everything looks effortless. He catches passes out of the backfield like a wide receiver, runs between the tackles like he's personally offended by contact, and has more fashion moments than most runway models. The Saints built their entire offense around his versatility, and he repaid them by being the most watchable player on the field every single week.
