One major complaint that has been echoed all offseason and preseason about the New Orleans Saints is that they haven’t done much to address the running back position. Mark Ingram strutted into the third preseason game to remind people that he’s here and very much capable of being a second option at running back in the NFL.
His two touchdown runs were the most of any individual Saints player in the entirety of the three-game preseason. 2021 was a career-low for Ingram in terms of efficiency (his mark of 3.5 yards per carry was well beneath his usual standards), but he also had to play behind some of the worst-performing offensive lines in his entire career with New Orleans and Houston. Now, getting back into the groove of the Saints offense he’s looking ready to be a contributor.
