Like Saquon Barkley, Saints running back Alvin Kamara can do it all

Usually it’s the coach opposing the Giants who has to answer the question about trying to stop a running back who can line up anywhere and do just about anything. This week it was asked of Pat Shurmur regarding Alvin Kamara of the Saints.

“He’s like a receiver,” Shurmur said. “He’s quick, he’s instinctive, he catches the ball well, he runs well after the catch. When we’re matched up one-on-one, we have to cover him well. And then certainly when we play zone and try to throw a net around him, we’ve got to make sure if he catches the ball that we tackle him.
