Alvin Kamara's 2025 Decline Signals Possible Final Season

Alvin Kamara's 2025 season saw a steep decline, with only 471 rushing yards and one touchdown over 11 games. The drop in production and a sprained ankle suggest this may be his final year in New Orleans.

Since joining the Saints in 2017, Kamara has been the franchise's all‑time leader in rushing yards, touchdowns and receiving yards for a running back. In 2025 he played 11 games, logged 457 snaps, and posted 471 rushing yards on 131 carries (3.6 avg) with a single rushing touchdown.

He also caught 33 passes for 186 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per catch, but failed to score a receiving touchdown. A sprained ankle in Week 12 ended his season early, and his per‑carry average of 3.6 is the lowest of his career, signaling a possible end to his Saints tenure.
