How special is Alvin Kamara?

He is unique. If he can stay healthy (which is sure as hell is no given) he will have a HOF career (stay on the ground dude!). I've been racking my brain thinking of a HOF'er to compare him to. He doesn't have the raw speed and athleticism of Reggie type RB (not saying Reggae Bush is HoF material, to be clear), he doesn't have the crazy legs style like a Sanders, Dickerson, or Walter Payton. 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.
