The running back has been posting photos of a rooster on social media, to the confusion of fans — but he tells PEOPLE it's all to symbolize the daily "grind" of putting in work
By Natasha Dye | PeopleAlvin Kamara has a burning question. The New Orleans Saints star desperately wants to know what happened to the rooster he used to see every morning at the high school where he's trained for the past six years.
"I was waiting to explain this somewhere," says Kamara, who has been confusing fans with recurring photos of roosters on social media. "Everybody's trying to figure out what the rooster was," he laughs.
The reason? Every morning, Kamara wakes up at 4:15 a.m. to work out, and "there's a rooster that used to be there, he'd always be up," the 27-year-old tells PEOPLE. "Every time I got done working out, when I'm about to get in my car, I'd hear the rooster."
But, Kamara says, he sadly hasn't seen or heard the bird this year. "I think he's relocated."

Rounding up final mock draft picks for the Saints in 2024
Who are the New Orleans Saints picking in the final mock drafts of 2024? With the real thing just hours away we’ve rounded up the results, and found a clear consensus: everyone expects the Saints to upgrade their offensive line. And they’ll do that by picking one of this year’s best blockers, if the mock drafts are to be believed.
Some of the Saints’ first-round picks in recent years were broadcast pretty well; there were plenty of experts linking the team to Bryan Bresee in 2023 and Chris Olave in 2022, though other picks like Trevor Penning, Payton Turner, and Cesar Ruiz caught us by surprise. Here’s who the Saints are being connected to in 2024:

So here is our final seven-round mock draft, exploring what we expect the Saints to do. Here’s how they can field a better team in 2024 than fans saw in 2023:

Report: Saints calling teams to trade up in Round 1 of 2024 draft
Are in for another Mickey Loomis special? NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah shared a big piece of information in his final 2024 mock draft, which he had previously only alluded to on social media.
“The Saints have been calling teams to try to trade up, and I assume they want one of the top offensive tackles,” Jeremiah wrote, predicting the Saints will ultimately stay put and select Washington Huskies left tackle Troy Fautanu. He continued, “I’m not sure how they have the OTs stacked on their board, but I do feel highly confident that New Orleans will be taking a bookend blocker in Round 1.”...

Earlier this week, we asked our readers what they would like to see the New Orleans Saints do with their pick in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. 65% of voters said they would like them to stay and pick at 14. Only 20% said they would like them to trade down and just 15% said trade up.
The Saints have several needs on both offense and defense and while we don’t know what will happen, most mock drafts have the Saints taking an Offensive Tackle with the 14th pick.

2024 NFL mock draft: Four QBs go at the top, OT run shakes up first round
The 2024 NFL draft starts tomorrow and there feels like there is more up in the air than normal in this class. It’s not that no one knows mostly which players should go in the first round, but there a lot of ways the board can fall.
A lot of it is riding on how the quarterback dominoes and how the offensive tackle class end up falling. There are a lot of tackles and wide receivers, and people have them rated completely differently.
Here is our final full first round mock draft, featuring some surprising trade action:

James Hurst retiring exacerbates Saints' woeful offensive line
It’s tough to think of a setup worse than the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line right now. Of last year’s five starters, only two are locks to return in their spots for 2024: Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Left tackle is undecided with the Saints expected to draft competition for Trevor Penning this weekend. Right tackle is an open wound with Ryan Ramczyk facing the very real possibility of a medical retirement. And left guard is now looking worse with James Hurst retiring from pro football.
The Saints need more reinforcements than they can afford with their...

Are the Saints going to trade up in round one?
No matter how Mickey Loomis or anyone else tries to spin it, it’s very clear that the New Orleans Saints have one glaring need: Offensive tackle.
It’s such a glaring need that even Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL Network draft expert, said on X “find me a team that has a bigger need than the Saints at OT.”
Luckily for the Saints, this is a very offensive tackle heavy draft. You have Joe Alt who’s considered the best tackle in the draft, but after him, you have another 5+ guys who could, and probably will be first rounders in Olu Fashanu, Taliese Fuaga, Troy Fauntanu, Amarius Mims, JC Latham...

Salary cap impact of James Hurst retiring with the Saints
An already-difficult New Orleans Saints offensive line outlook got a little more complicated on Wednesday. Veteran left guard James Hurst announced his retirement after a decade in the NFL, opening a void next to an already-open spot at left tackle. But the Saints weren’t exactly caught by surprise, and the salary cap impact will be minimal.
This may have been broadcast earlier this offseason. Hurst agreed to a pay cut in March that lowered his cap hit from $6.5 million to just $2.97 million, giving up most of his base salary as well as some bonuses. Hurst told NewOrleans.Football’s Mike...
