Alvin Kamara, the seasoned running back for the New Orleans Saints, has not performed with his usual efficiency through the first two games of the 2026 season. However, an opportunity has arisen for him to reestablish himself as the primary option in the Saints' backfield during Monday Night Football, following the placement of offseason addition Travis Etienne on injured reserve.
Kamara sat out New Orleans' Week 1 overtime defeat to the Detroit Lions due to a knee issue. As a player now past his 30th birthday who depends on agility and elusiveness, questions linger about how he will manage a significant workload if called upon heavily in Week 4.
The five-time Pro Bowler and 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year has recorded 18 rushing attempts for 51 yards and six receptions for an additional 12 yards, failing to reach the end zone so far in 2026.
This context leads to today's quiz: In his prime, Kamara was a constant threat to score from anywhere on the field, whether as a runner or receiver. Can you identify every NFL running back from the Super Bowl era (since 1966) who has accumulated at least 20 receiving touchdowns in their career? Best of luck!
Key Analysis
Kamara's reduced efficiency in 2026 raises concerns about his ability to shoulder a heavy load at this stage of his career. With Etienne sidelined, the Saints may have no choice but to rely on him extensively, testing both his durability and effectiveness. The quiz highlights the rare company of running backs with 20+ receiving touchdowns, underscoring Kamara's past excellence as a dual-threat playmaker.
