re: Alvin Kamara’s Running Style?

The only running back I have ever seen that can run and catch the way AK can is Marshall Faulk. Faulk was just as good a receiver as a running back, AK has the same skill set.

Ladainian Tomlinson would like a word. Bell and Gurley are approaching the same realm. Kamara is a stud, but he has company.

Actually style wise similar to Pierre Thomas except with more elusiveness. They absorb hits similarly

Faulk is the best comparison IMO

All three running backs you mentioned are great for sure. But could any of those three make that over the shoulder catch on a deep route like Kamara? Not sure about that. Marshall is the only RB I can remember that could play receiver like that. Just sayin'

Yea? Tomlinson caught 100 balls in 2003. People are forgetting what David Johnson did last year too. 80 catches for 879 yards on top of 1200 yards rushing. Even Kareem Hunt made some great catches this season. Kamara is great, but he’s got company.

He reminds me of brian westbrook. Westbrook hit the hole a little harder but the broken tackles and balance are pretty identical. Westbrook also caught the ball out of the backfield pretty well

Marcus Allen did it before both. It's no coincidence either that Kamara resembles Allen more than any other RB.
