The New Orleans Saints may be without running back Alvin Kamara for a good chunk of the 2022 season, after the five-time Pro Bowler was arrested earlier this year for alleged battery. It was reported in June that Kamara is " bracing" for a six-game suspension.

On Tuesday morning, Nick Underhill reported that the Saints may be looking towards the USFL for a possible replacement in the backfield.

Victor spent last season with the New Jersey Generals and led the USFL in rushing touchdowns with nine. The 28-year-old racked up 577 rushing yards on 127 carries as well.

A product of Towson University, Victor went undrafted in 2017 and spent time with New Orleans later that year in training camp.
