New Orleans Saints rookie running back Alvin Kamara has been selected as the Fed Ex Ground Player of the Week for his Week 9 performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara scored two touchdowns, rushed for 68 yards and had 84 receiving yards, leading the way to a New Orleans Saints victory. 

The weekly FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards are also a win for local communities. Along with the player awards, FedEx is making a $2,000 donation in each of the winning players' names that will go to the USO through FedEx Cares. The donation will be used to support USO programs that keep service members connected to family, home and country as they depart the military and find a new path in civilian life.

Off the field, FedEx Ground provides fast, affordable and reliable shipping. To learn more about FedEx Ground, go to fedex.com/ground.
