Anybody who watched Tennessee’s 13 games last year saw how explosive and elusive running back Alvin Kamara could be.
The junior college transfer and former Alabama back was a huge weapon for the Vols, piling up 1,098 all-purpose yards and averaging 7.3 yards every time he touched the football via rush, reception or punt return.
Pro Football Focus has put a number on just how tough to tackle Kamara is – giving him an Elusive Rating of 109.2, good for fourth in the nation among all running backs in the nation in 2015 (and ahead of LSU running back Leonard Fournette).
