A man is suing Alvin Kamara for $10 million, alleging the five-time Pro Bowl running back is no saint.
Darnell Greene Jr. filed the lawsuit in Louisiana on Friday, claiming he was injured during an alleged felony battery by Kamara and three others, including Chiefs cornerback Christopher Lammons, in Las Vegas during Pro Bowl weekend in February.
Greene alleges that he was knocked unconscious outside a Vegas nightclub after Kamara shoved him into a wall and punched him several times in the face, even after he fell to the ground.
Greene is represented by Tony Buzbee, the Houston attorney who represented many of the more than 20 women who accused Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct during massage sessions.

Greene has requested a jury trial and the civil suit seeks at least $5 million in actual damages and $5 million in exemplary charges. He also accuses the NFL of neglecting to punish Kamara, who totaled 193 yards from scrimmage during the Saints’ win last week over the Seahawks.
“Kamara currently faces criminal charges for the occurrence described herein. However, these proceedings have seemingly been put on pause to allow Kamara to play an entire season for the Saints without being suspended,” the lawsuit states. “Further, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has failed to fully investigate the incident at hand, and is ostensibly waiting for the criminal proceedings to play out before issuing a suspension.
“It is highly suspected that Goodell has seen the violent security footage of the assault — just as Plaintiff has — but is choosing not to take corrective action. Darnell Greene refuses to allow the Commissioner, the authorities, or Kamara himself to sweep this matter under the rug.”
