Alvin Kamara Shares Valuable Tips with Colorado Running Backs During Visit

During his visit to Colorado’s spring practice, Kamara took time to share game knowledge with the Buffaloes’ running backs. One key piece of advice he gave was about balancing vision and patience when reading running lanes. Kamara said, “Man, the cutbacks are going to be there. Don’t be so cutback heavy. It always feels like the cutback is going to be the big play, but when you pause the tape, the front side is going to be wide open.” His message highlighted the importance of trusting the design of the play and not always trying to bounce it outside for a highlight moment—something young backs often struggle with. 

While Kamara’s visit sparked plenty of speculation about Sanders, it’s clear his presence also brought real value to Colorado’s backfield. With Swasey now on staff and Sanders gaining national attention, Kamara’s connection to the program makes sense. Regardless of what the future holds, Kamara’s advice left a strong impression—and the running backs will carry those lessons into the upcoming season.
