Jourdan Lewis to Alvin Kamara

On Friday, October 9, 2026, everyone playing the NFL Today's Linkster got the same two players: get from Jourdan Lewis to Alvin Kamara in as few links as possible. Par was 4, counted through colleges, but any shared college, jersey number or team counted as a move.

  • Alvin Kamara (RB, 2017–2026) College: Hutchinson CC, Alabama and Tennessee. Team: New Orleans Saints. Number: #41.
