Welcome to the 5,000 Yard Club, Alvin Kamara. The New Orleans Saints running back helped spark a second-half surge against the New York Giants with a 31-yard touchdown reception -- catching a pass in the flat and turning upfield, sliding between defenders to put his team ahead. It was a classic moment from one of the team's most decorated players.
Three of the other six players who have put up 5,000 yards as both a rusher and receiver are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame: running backs Leroy Moore, Marcus Allen, and Marshall Faulk. Giants legend Tiki Barber is also in the club, as is Kamara's longtime rival and fellow 2017 draft pick Christian McCaffrey.
