Former New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram was always a ball of energy during his time in the NFL. As a former Heisman Trophy winner, his electricity was a factor both on and off of the field during his playing career. Now, he's headed to his career after football. That being said, he won't be far from the gridiron.
Ingram has accepted a role at Fox Sports to be a college football analyst for the company.
"I can't wait to feel the energy and excitement every Saturday, alongside some of the most talented and entertaining names in our sport, at the biggest games in college football" — Ingram via ESPN
Ingram is one of the most accomplished running backs in Saints franchise history. The former Crimson Tide RB totaled 6,500 rushing yards for New Orleans. He owns the franchise's all-time record for rushing yards and TDs (52). Ingram played for the Saints for a decade and became a fan favorite duo alongside Alvin Kamara.
Of course, Ingram won't have to prove his football knowledge or his positive mindset in his new broadcasting gig. He was known for being an amazing teammate in New Orleans, and players around the league loved his energy. He's a great fit as a new addition for the college football crew at Fox Sports.
