I'd say Al-Quadin Muhammad just because of where he was drafted. Don't expect much from a 6th rounder.

Kamara is this years Michael Thomas. The only thing that may prevent him from shining to that level would be the crowded/talented backfield he is in

Our new LT is about to shine.

Knowing this offense, I wouldn't be surprised as the Sproles-back that Kamara sets new marks for Rookie All-Purpose Yardage & Scoring, everything is aligning for him to be successful...

I voted for Lattimore. I didn't want him to feel left out. If his feelings get hurt, he might be out another 2 or 3 weeks. Lol.

Kamara has really strong lower body strength (see long yard gain vs Cleveland) & he keeps his legs moving. He also appears to run good routes.

I see a kid with uncanny vision & balance. Personally, I don't see us waiting for the 3 year mark to evaluate his draft position.

You are really asking this question after 1 preseason game?
Are you freaking kidding me?

Went with the Big Boy LT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin.

Kamara will put up ungodly numbers in NO!

Utah_Saint · 08-15-2017, 04:10 PM

I went with Lattimore but only because he was projected top and the Saints got him at 11. At this point there's really no way to know which of these guys is going to break out. I'm hoping they all do.
