Saints Legend Jahri Evans Reacts After Historic NFL Milestone: “He’s More Special Than Anyone the League Has Ever Seen – A Future Legend in the Making”
October 27, 2025 – New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans Saints legend and Hall of Famer Jahri Evans has become the latest figure to publicly honor running back Alvin Kamara after the star reached one of the most remarkable achievements in NFL history.

On Sunday, during the Saints’ matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kamara caught two passes in the final moments of the second quarter — enough to push him past 600 career receptions, making him the first player in NFL history to record over 600 catches and 600 rushing attempts for a single team.
It’s a feat that not even the greatest dual-threat running backs of the past — from Marshall Faulk to LaDainian Tomlinson — ever managed to accomplish. And for Evans, who blocked for Kamara during the early part of his career, the achievement is more than just numbers — it’s a reflection of a rare kind of greatness.
“Alvin is different,” Evans said in an interview with local media Monday morning. “He’s more special than any player the NFL has ever seen — past or present. His balance, vision, and consistency set him apart from everyone else. What he’s doing for this city and this franchise is nothing short of historic.”
Evans, who spent over a decade anchoring the Saints’ offensive line and was inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame, emphasized that Kamara’s success embodies the same spirit that built the franchise’s golden era — determination, humility, and excellence.
“He doesn’t chase fame. He chases greatness,” Evans added. “And if he keeps going like this, his name won’t just be in Saints history — it’ll be written among the all-time NFL legends.”
Kamara now joins a select list of running backs with at least 600 receptions, including Larry Centers (827), Marshall Faulk (767), and LaDainian Tomlinson (624). But with every catch and every yard, it’s clear Kamara is carving out a category all his own — one that even legends like Evans are proud to witness.
