Five Running Backs the Arizona Cardinals Could Add
By Jeremy Meek
Alvin Kamara is an electric player who makes big plays
The college ranks have some terrific players who could fit the Cardinals offense as well. They’re unlikely to use a first, or even second, round pick on it, but after that, they could address it. Alvin Kamara is a guy who could fit right in.
One of the more explosive players in college football, Kamara is also one of it’s more versatile. In 2015, he totaled 989 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns, and followed that up with 988 total yards and 13 touchdowns in 2016. He averaged over six yards per carry in his two years of playing time at Tennessee.
Aside from the numbers, there’s a lot to like with Kamara. His athleticism is evident, and his speed and quick feet are on display every play. He has good hands, and is a natural receiver, adding tremendous value for whichever team drafts him.
The Cardinals have an affinity for players with big-play ability, and few players in the draft fit that mold more than Kamara. He’ll likely be available in the middle rounds, and if his workouts match his game tape, he may very well catch the eyes of the Arizona War Room.
