Alvin Kamara on coach Drew Brees

And his take on the legendary QB taking up the job at Purdue shows that. He said the veteran QB is taking the job as he is bored and the running back also gave his verdict on Brees’ coaching abilities.
“I think Drew’s bored. Drew, you’re bored. But I don’t know. I think he’ll do good. With the helmet on I think he’s a great coach. I don’t know how he’s gonna do with a headset on. We’ll see,” Kamara said with a big smile on his face.
Hurricane Brees spent 15 of his 20 NFL seasons with the Saints and established himself as a legend of the franchise. He and Kamara played together for four seasons together at New Orleans after the running back joined the franchise as a third-round draft pick in 2017.
