Very similar to Faulk ... Faulk was faster, Kamara’s harder to bring down

Honestly I don't know if there is really a good comparison. I've never seen a RB who was as slick as Kamara. It's like he's covered in oil or something. Guys just slide right off him. It's crazy to watch.

I thought this yesterday: are we watching the beginning of the career of one of the best RBs of all time? Like, up there with the big guys?

Cause it sure as hell feels that way.

always wondered how well Barry would have done if he had Emmit Smiths OL blocking for him.


He’d probably still be playing today

I liked the Eric Dickerson reference, he does glide and has great balance when running.

Effortless & smoove

Why are people here such absolutists? I blame the horrible education system in Louisiana.


It's a COMPARISON.

Here, let me help you out.

Gale Sayers





It's a little uncanny, the body style, the fluid shifts he makes... he could be a clone

Marshall Faulk is the closest comparison I have seen.

You could line up AK as a slot receiver and he'd be elite as hell


Can’t wait for Ingram to come back and see AK motion into and from slot.

He will never get as many touches as Barry.... and Kamara has a better O line than Barry ever had. Its unfair to compare the stats because Barry will ultimately have more touches.

Kamara’s game is more Thurman Thomas than Barry Sanders. Kamara to me brings thoughts of Marcus Allen X Thurman Thomas.

Kamara has great balance, but he’s now where near Barry’s ability to lose tacklers and creating space.
