Mark Ingram achieved a storied career with the New Orleans Saints on his way to winning the team’s rushing records, and it was worth the wait. But it would have been hard to convince him of that on a night that left him feeling camera-shy. Ingram spoke about his experience on a recent NFL Network roundtable with other players.
“Man the draft day was great,” Ingram said, looking for the silver lining of what turned into a tense evening. “Woke up, go to the draft and walked the red carpet, got my mom, three of my sisters, my grandma with me. Go into the green room. I go to the draft because they told me there’s no way I stay past 20, maybe top 15. I’m like cool, I can wait that long.”
