New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara recently signed a contract extension, and he’s continuing to lay it all on the line for the team.
The New Orleans Saints have rewarded Alvin Kamara with a two-year extension worth $24.5 million, and few players deserve it more. Kamara exemplifies what it means to be an elite player—he’s not only immensely talented but also a strong leader who conducts himself with integrity.
His toughness is noteworthy; Kamara has been playing through broken ribs since Week 3, and he recently revealed another significant injury. In a Wednesday press conference, he disclosed that he broke his hand in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite this, he hasn’t missed any games and has no intention of doing so.
So far this season, Kamara has tallied 111 carries for 438 yards and six touchdowns, along with 34 receptions for 252 yards and another touchdown. While he has appeared on the injury report for his hand, the severity of the injury was not widely known. On the field, he continues to perform at a high level, running hard, making catches, and executing important blocks in pass protection. He credits his physical therapist, Dr. Jose Tienda, for helping him manage his injuries effectively.
Fans admire Kamara’s determination, but he remains humble, pointing out that no player in the NFL is ever truly 100% healthy. He emphasized his commitment to protecting himself in order to stay on the field.
This mentality has endeared him to fans, who are not only thrilled to see him receive a well-deserved contract but also hope to see him healthy and leading the Saints to victory.
