Former SEC RBs Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara first teammates to each record 1,500+ scrimmage yards in NFL season
New Orleans Saints running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara have combined to have outstanding seasons.
The former SEC stars — Ingram at Alabama and Kamara more recently at Tennessee — have been virtually unstoppable in The Big Easy this year.
A tweet from the NFL Media Research Group (@NFLResearch) on Sunday indicated just how dynamic the RB duo has been.
Ingram and Kamara were able to set an incredible record by each reaching at least 1,500 scrimmage yards in a single season.
They are the first duo of running backs on the same team in NFL history to accomplish such a feat:
