Saints‘ Kellen Moore Plans to Feature Alvin Kamara as Primary Ball Carrier in 2025
New Orleans Saints fans can expect a heavy dose of Alvin Kamara in the 2025 season, mirroring the offensive approach Kellen Moore utilized with running back Saquon Barkley during his time with the New York giants. Despite entering his eighth NFL season and coming off a 950-yard rushing performance, some analysts predict a decline for the veteran running back. Though, Moore’s system suggests Kamara will remain the focal point of the Saints’ ground game.
This strategy signifies a shift from recent trends where quarterback involvement in rushing attacks has increased, particularly during Moore’s previous stint in Philadelphia. While backups Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Velus Jones Jr. will have opportunities, Kamara is projected to receive the majority of the workload. This approach aims to capitalize on Kamara’s proven ability and potentially unlock even greater production, with a realistic projection exceeding 2,000 yards, and a first-time surpassing of 1,000 rushing yards remaining a strong possibility.Kamara’s continued prominence is further solidified by the anticipated limited rushing involvement from the Saints’ quarterback. Moore’s offensive beliefs prioritizes a dedicated running back, a tactic successfully employed with Barkley, and signals a commitment to establishing a strong running game centered around Kamara. The Saints’ running back room also includes the recently healthy Kendre Miller,the productive Devin Neal,and the speedy Velus Jones Jr., who will contribute in specific situations.
