Alvin Kamara's First Order Of Business After Receiving His Signing Bonus? Getting Some MF'n Wings.1/5/2018
First of all, every football fan should read that article. I'm obviously a supporter of the Saints so you should probably be skeptical about the following disclaimer, but - bias entirely aside - it's almost impossible to find anything even slightly less than lovable about Alvin Kamara after doing so. I mean, I too have an affinity for some motherfuckin' wings, but I'd be hard pressed to say they'd be my first priority after coming upon a significant sum of money that semantically sounds like it should be blown on something superficial. Meanwhile, the 3rd round pick who was finally garnering the interest that somehow eluded him all throughout a tumultuous college career decided to collect some while gorging on a purchase so fundamental to life that it can be picked straight from the bone. It's tough to think about anything else when you're hungry, but the fact that I picture myself licking my fingers from the reclined seat of a brand new sports car is proof positive that Alvin Kamara is a more down-to-earth man than myself. And honestly, he absolutely shouldn't be. Considering his range of skills, his undeniable swag, and the quickness with which he happened upon superstardom, it's a bit of an anomaly that he's remained so selfless, modest, and appreciative. Those characteristics have obviously allowed him to form the type of bond necessary to make up half of one of the most dynamic running back duos in NFL history, but they aren't characteristics that are commonly seen in a player of his ilk. Perhaps humble beginnings and the uncertainty that comes with bouncing around from school to school kept him grounded, but look no further than his decision to take his most impressive mode of transportation - his own feet - in satisfying the most low-cost of cravings for proof that he's literally taken every aspect of his astronomic rise in stride. In a city that wholly embraces the eccentric, Alvin Kamara is a 22 year old man of the people, and it has endeared him to its people in a way that isn't dependent on what has seemingly become a weekly (if not bi-weekly) visit to the endzone. It's ironic that his first foray into celebratory spending was getting his hands on some lemon peppers, because - without even one single postseason performance under his belt - he'll probably never have to pay for them in New Orleans again.
