NEW ORLEANS ― Mark Ingram might not have been the Saints’ first first-round pick in April’s NFL Draft.

That distinction goes to Cameron Jordan.

But Ingram, the Heisman Trophy-winning former Alabama running back, is definitely the most in demand first-round pick for the Saints.

Wave after wave of Saints’ fans come at Ingram, asking him to sign computer print outs and take pictures.

The requests have been normal – a picture with Ingram and the fan in it. They’ve also been abnormal – a picture with Ingram, dressed in a gray suit, holding a yellow squawking chicken.

But it was one of his “only in New Orleans” welcome moments following the draft that he’ll likely always remember.

“I got one of those big king cakes and I ate a piece of the cake and there was a baby in it,” Ingram said, laughing while recounting the story. “I’m like, ‘What’s this? Is this cake cursed or something?’ I guess I have to go buy the next king cake now, but I was tripping at first.”
