Alvin Kamara Makes NFL History, Passes Marcus Allen for 5th Most Receptions Among Running Backs
New Orleans, LA — New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara has added yet another milestone to his remarkable career, officially surpassing Hall of Famer Marcus Allen to move into 5th place all-time in receptions by a running back in NFL history. With his 590th career catch, Kamara continues to solidify his reputation as one of the most versatile and dynamic offensive weapons the league has ever seen.
The record-setting moment came during the Saints’ Week 5 matchup, as Kamara hauled in a crucial short pass from quarterback Derek Carr, pushing him past Allen’s long-standing mark. The reception drew cheers from fans at the Caesars Superdome, who have witnessed Kamara’s rise from a third-round draft pick in 2017 to one of the most consistent dual-threat running backs in the modern era.
Kamara’s 590 receptions place him among elite company — behind only the likes of Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson, Larry Centers, and Tiki Barber on the all-time list. He now stands just 20 receptions away from claiming 4th place, a milestone that could be achieved within the coming weeks if he maintains his usual pace.
“I didn’t even realize I was that close,” Kamara said after the game. “It’s a blessing to be mentioned with names like Marcus Allen and Marshall Faulk. Those are guys I grew up watching. I just try to go out there every week and make plays for my team.”
Since entering the league, Kamara has redefined the role of a running back. His unique blend of agility, balance, and receiving ability has made him a nightmare matchup for defenses. He’s recorded five 80-catch seasons, an unheard-of feat for a running back, and remains one of the few players capable of lining up both in the backfield and in the slot with equal effectiveness.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen praised Kamara’s consistency and leadership after the game. “Alvin’s not just a great player — he’s a competitor and a leader. What he’s accomplished is special. You don’t see many players with his kind of versatility. He’s a huge part of our identity.”
Throughout his career, Kamara has amassed over 9,000 total yards from scrimmage, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Despite facing suspension and injury challenges in past seasons, his work ethic and production have remained elite.
The Saints’ fan base, known for their deep loyalty, celebrated the record on social media with the familiar chant #WhoDatForLife — honoring their star for continuing to etch his name into franchise and league history.
As Kamara inches closer to 4th place on the all-time receptions list, he continues to build a legacy that goes far beyond statistics. He represents the modern evolution of the NFL running back — not just a runner, but a complete offensive weapon.
With plenty of football still ahead in his career, one thing is clear: Alvin Kamara’s name will be remembered among the greats.
