Much like Lindsay Lohan entering a rehab center, Mark Ingram really needs no introduction. He is one of the best running backs in college football history. The 2009 season was his master piece (see above). Now his stats dropped off in his senior year because he missed two games with an injury. Ingram is a great combo of speed and power. When you add in his ability to receive out of the backfield(334yrds 3TD 2009)he is a cant miss prospect. But the most impressive stat Ingram can claim is he never fumbles(cough cough AP).I would compare Ingram to Emmitt Smith. Emmitt rushing stats for 3 years at Florida are far above Ingram's but Emmitt played in a different era. An era with out 2 pack systems, and spread offenses. But if you project Ingram's stats for 2010 for the 2 games he missed, there pretty close. I see Mark going as high as 17 to New England or 19 to the Giants. Ingram would more than fill the role Brandon Jacobs will leave. But the perfect fit for him is 22 Colts. Give Peyton a franchise back again and the Colts may jump back up to a Super Bowl champion. When you look back on this draft 5 years from now Mark Ingram will be the best player taken. Its an easy transition for running backs to the NFL. I'm already picking Ingram as my rookie sleeper for fantasy next year.
