Alvin Kamara received a lifetime supply of beer as a gift

NEW ORLEANS – After signing two year extension With New Orleans Saints Last week, running back Alvin Kamara got a new teammate in Abita Beer. A local brewing company located 30 miles north of New Orleans donated a 29-year lifetime supply of its product. Photos of the first landing at Kamara’s house began to circulate on social networks.

“On behalf of everyone here at Abita, we wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication to New Orleans,” the brewing company said in a note. “Your dedication truly shines, an inspiration to all of us who proudly call Louisiana home. In light of this, we would like to offer a lifetime gift from Abita.”

This season has been a rollercoaster for the Saints. After a strong start with two wins, the team is now struggling with a six-game losing streak. Kamara, a model of toughness, recently revealed that he played with a broken hand suffered in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite this setback and other rib and hip injuries, he demonstrated unwavering dedication by not missing a single game this year.

“The reality of this league is that no one is 100 percent,” the five-time Pro Bowl running back said. “If you’re 100 percent, you could be Superman or something and you’d need a drug test. Nobody is 100 percent in this league, so every week it’s a race to get back to that. As long as I feel like I can protect myself. on the field, I’m going to go out.”

Time is running out for the team to turn this season around. One bright spot is the potential return of quarterback Derek Carr, who missed the last three games with an oblique injury. The team hopes his return can provide a boost to an offense that hasn’t scored more than ten points in the last two games.

Despite various injuries, Kamara got the job done. He has 812 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on the season and is within striking distance of Mark Ingram’s all-time rushing yards record. Kamara is just 167 yards away from reaching that milestone.

The former third-round pick from the University of Tennessee has had many ups and downs during his Saints career. Despite all this, he will likely end his career in New Orleansas his extension will take him through the 2026 NFL season. Abita Brewing Company nicknamed him the “Loyal King” and he turned out to be just that and more.
