ROOKIE REPORT: Third-round RB Alvin Kamara has continued to look fast and fluid in the first two days of padded practices. And as expected, the Saints have been featuring his versatility as a runner and pass catcher. His role could be limited in New Orleans' crowded backfield, but he should challenge veteran Travaris Cadet for his role in empty-backfield sets. Sean Payton paid Kamara the ultimate compliment Sunday when asked if he sees comparisons between Kamara's style and that of Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk, who was at Saints camp Sunday for the NFL Network. "There's some traits that Kamara has that remind me – in regards to his intelligence, his ability to run routes," Payton said. "(Faulk) was as good as there ever was in that element of it … one of the smarter players I ever coached."
