Miller stated, “So, we made an emphasis like, ‘Oh, yeah. We’ve got to run the ball.’ We just got it going early, and when I got in there, we were just rolling, me and AK (Kamara).” He is optimistic about maintaining this effectiveness as the season progresses.
Looking Ahead
Kendre Miller’s unique statistical achievements highlight his growing role within the Saints’ offense. With continued focus on the run game, both he and Alvin Kamara could prove to be a dynamic duo this season.
