NEW ORLEANS — Alvin Kamara joined an exclusive club Monday night.
Kamara, a former University of Tennessee running back, who is having a stellar National Football League career with the New Orleans Saints, became just the fourth player to total more than 2,000 yards rushing and 2,000 yards receiving in each of his first three seasons in the NFL.
Kamara, the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year, had 66 yards on 14 carries and pulled in five receptions for 23 yards in the Saints’ 34-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts Monday night, joining Roger Craig, Herschel Walker and Christian McCaffrey as the only players to accomplish this feat.
The former Vol had 89 total yards in Week 15 for the Saints (11-3).
Kamara makes a return to the Volunteer State when he and the Saints take on the Titans Sunday in Nashville.
