Tony Jones Jr. - Running back
Jones Jr. saw the field five times last season.

Alvin Kamara - Running back
Kamara only played in 13 games due to injuries in 2021, but he still showed productivity when on the field.

Although versatile backfield threat Alvin Kamara had some nagging injuries during the 2021 season, he still showed the ability to be productive when his number was called. He had 240 rushes for 898 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games. Kamara added 439 yards and five touchdowns on 47 receptions. Kamara may not be asked to carry as much of a workload following the wide receiver additions of Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave , which should open the field up for everyone.
