Saints sign 3rd-round pick Tre'Quan Smith

Alvin Kamara had a historic rookie season, providing a productive and efficient weapon in the New Orleans Saints offense.

Heading into his second NFL season, Kamara hopes to be even better, and with fellow running back Mark Ingram suspended for the first four games of 2018, Kamara could have more opportunities at the beginning of the season.

Coach Sean Payton said earlier this month the Saints won't overwork Kamara with Ingram gone, but Kamara said Monday (May 21) he's open to whatever role coaches give him.

"From the beginning, I've said (I'll do) whatever I have to do," Kamara said at the Saints Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Classic at Bayou Oaks City Park's south course.
