How special is Alvin Kamara?

I'll say it again: Special K
That's his name

Just when I think his best play was leaping over a player... he tips tips tips a ball between 4-5 players who try and tackle him but he makes it to the endzone and then showes every bit what he is capable of on the goal line of the panthers.

He's not big strong brute like Campbell or Peterson either. The closest I can think of is Marshall Faulk. Maybe not quite as fast, and maybe a little stronger.
On that first TD of the Kitties game the LB HAD him. Squared him. Denied him. Yet he still managed to score. Wow.

I see quite a bit of resemblance to Marcus Allen.

Good enough to trade away a future draft choice for! Oh wait, I forgot "Rookie Contract" LOL

Kamara is from the Norcross area. Does that mean he was a FailClowns fan?

Yeah I think he was. This little tweet from 5 years ago surfaced recently...

No big deal though. The kid was in high school still.

Dayum! If people can pull up tweets from that many years, when he was a nobody in high school, that should let people know the importance in watch what you tweet. DONT PRESS SEND
