Alvin Kamara skips last minicamp practice over contract dispute (No Guarantees in ‘25); Alvin Kamara is seeking an extension

dtc said

The problem with this argument is that Kamara hasn't been overused. He's never had more than 18.5 carries per game which is nothing like the 20 years of 40 carries that people like Emmit Smith had or the 12-13 Adrian Peterson had. Barry Sanders retired relatively early with way more touches so I'd say Kamara is on the light side of used up at this stage.

Alvin has had a unique career where you can’t just look at carries. All touches must be assessed.

As said earlier in the thread, Alvin is virtually the only RB in NFL history with a “superstar” reputation without a single 1000 yard season. He does other things, including an abnormal number of screens and swing passes, and those other things need to factor just as heavily into the evaluation and future projections.
