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”

Saints Legend Jahri Evans Speaks Out After the Team’s Star Running Back Makes NFL History: “He’s More Special Than Any Player the League Has Ever Seen – And One Day, He’ll Become a Greater Legend Than Ever Before.”

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.

Alvin Kamara set to hit an important new milestone in Week 14

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.

The legendary tight end star of the Broncos and Super Bowl champion has sent shockwaves through Packers Nation by expressing his desire to return to Green Bay after becoming a free agent – willing to give up everything just to wear the iconic green and gold once moreGreen Bay, Wisconsin – November 8, 2025 Nearly a decade after leaving Green Bay, a Super Bowl champion and former cornerstone of the Packers’ offense has sent shockwaves through Packers Nation with an emotional confession — he wants to come home. After years of glory with other teams, the veteran admits one thing has never changed: his heart still belongs to Green Bay. A first-round pick in 2012, the former Pro Bowl tight end was once the embodiment of toughness, discipline, and competitive spirit in the iconic green and gold. During his five seasons with the Packers, he wasn’t just a reliable target — he was the soul of the offense, inspiring teammates through his calm demeanor and warrior’s heart. Packers Rumors: Former Pro Bowl TE, DPOY Could Reunite with Green Bay After leaving the team in 2017, he went on to win a Super Bowl and earn the Defensive Player of the Year award, cementing his place among the greats of his generation. Yet despite all the titles and accolades, he says no place ever felt like Green Bay. “I don’t need trophies, I don’t need money,” he said. “All I want is one more chance — to put that jersey back on, to walk out of the Lambeau Field tunnel, and to hear the roar of Packers Nation through the falling snow. I miss that cold, that fire, that feeling when you play for the ‘G’ on your helmet. And if I have to give up everything to feel that again — I will.” Inside the Packers locker room, his name still echoes as a symbol of discipline and passion. Jaire Alexander, one of Green Bay’s young defensive stars, shared: “He set the standard for all of us. When you watch his tape, you understand what focus, sacrifice, and pride truly mean when you wear these colors.” Now at 41, the veteran continues to train relentlessly, waiting for one call — just one — from Brian Gutekunst’s office. One final chance to close his story where it began. For him, Green Bay has never been just a team.It’s family. It’s home.
