He got into some trouble a couple times I believe so that didn't help him.

Re: Amazing that Kamara wasn't drafted higher
 

Too bad for teams that passed on him.

Here is my favorite weakness (per Walter football report) ...

"Quick, but not overly fast and can be caught from behind"

I can count on one hand where I've seen Kamara in the open field being caught by a defender.

He didn’t start.

Re: Amazing that Kamara wasn't drafted higher
 

Rez is correct! He had some dumb coaches that didn't think he was good enough to start.

Re: Amazing that Kamara wasn't drafted higher
 

Hmmmm...I seem to remember A LOT of grumbling when we took him.

less than 2000 yards in his college career, two schools, and some off-field issues= I'm not amazed at all

He's amazing but most are going to have success in our system. AP is the only one I can think of that didn't work out so well but look at him now, in a system that caters to his skill even at his age.

Kamara's finesse, great QB, good down field blocking. Makes it all look easy. Not too many teams have all three.

"First is that you still have FA RBs out there who could bridge the role till next year's draft, why keep mortgaging the future when all it's done is kept us at 7-9? Second, if Kamara was rated that high, late first round, on the draft board, why not take him at 32 or 42 if value is truly more important than need? Third, if you like risk, why not sit tight, stay disciplined and let him fall to the 76th spot? Payton seems to have a problem deciding between two players and makes these impulsive moves, with no system to keep him in check, and every year is unable to complete a well-rounded roster because he keeps using two picks on one player. And fourth, what was the grade on DE Jordan Willis of Kansas St? Many reputable scouts (SPELLED E G G S P U R T S) had him with a late first through second round grade...."

Jordan Willis has 3!! Count Em!!! 3 Career Sacks!!

No IFS ANDS OR BUTS About It!!!
Trey Hendrickson has 5 Career Sacks!!
David Onyemata has 8.5 Career Sacks!!!

Alvin Kamara......"A 3rd Down Back!!" :rofl:
