NFL Rookie Watch: Mark Ingram
NFL Rookie Watch: Mark Ingram
By Mike Beacom, FootballDiehards.com, Special to SI.com Entering the 2011 NFL Draft, many compared the University of Alabama's Mark Ingram to Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith for his toughness and compact running style. Like Smith, Ingram fell to the bottom half of Round 1, landing at No. 28 to New Orleans. The Saints gave New England their second round choice and next year's first to acquire the pick -- a sign New Orleans was anxious to land the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner. The 5-foot-9, 215-pound back ripped up the SEC the past two seasons and seemed a lock to be the first running back selected, even after posting disappointing numbers at the combine in February (4.62 seconds in the 40-yard dash and the lowest 20-yard shuttle score among all back prospects).

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Payton goes with the hot hand. He always has and I don't expect him to change. Ingram could break 1000 yds if Payton just feeds him the ball.
