He runs through tackles but he doesnt juke guys or lower his head. I can think of no former RB he reminds me of. Marshal Faulk, Reggie, Eric Metcalf are similar in result but not in style. Maybe a little like James Brooks from Cinncinatti. Hes definetely the next great Saints back. I watched Dalton, Ricky, Deuce and Reggie to name my favorites. Kmara started the game vs Carolina, one of the best defenses with possibly the best LBs in the league. Pregame all they talked about was stopping Kmara. They failed. Recently his dominance has reminded me of stretches Jimmy Graham had in his prime. Kmara looks like one of the best weapons in the NFL. Leveon Bell might be better I guess. Wait until he refines his route running and we can throw him some deep balls. I wanna see him get 20 carries one day. Either way he basically never leaves the field. Glad we have him.

He is indeed slower than Bush but that is it. Kamara is bigger, matter of fact the kid is 215 while Bush was 205. Running routes is yet to be determine but his hands are just as great if not better at catching. The only reason he is not catching 90 balls like Bush is that he is a far better runner than Bush. Bush didn't attack the hole up the middle, he always wanted to bounce out and out run you. Kamara attack holes, tremendous balance, deceptive speed, very elusive and deceptive power. As for deep balls, I seen a couple of those he caught but it can be clearly forgotten after all the highlights he do every week. If I was to compare him to anyone it would be Walter Payton & Marshal Faulk but he very unique because of that balance he have like Sproles. I don't believe we seen everything he has to offer
