Whole lot of whorah about how Ingram would be a better RB somewhere else but let the player be a draft pick not on someone's list and he is a career underachiever.

Maybe he was in the wrong system?

I recall some players becoming better after Spags was replaced....

No coach and/or system are equal; not the point I was laboring to make, and I wasn't upset that I had no idea who this guy was when he was picked...hell, I didn't know who Evans or Colston were in 2006, either.

And of course the argument could be that maybe KSU's offensive scheme requires their OLine to be swift but weak...he put up 21 reps on his pro day? For a lineman? You know people were telling him that he needed to get stronger to play in the NFL from the day he got to KSU up until his pro day. Point blank, he did not do what he needed to do to improve himself and was pretty flippant about not being considered a draft prospect.

If he can't get stronger and make himself better for just his own draft stock, we're going to expect him to make himself better for a 53 man TEAM? We'll soon see, but I will maintain that he doesn't have the drive to make himself better for his sake or for the team's sake.

Hope he proves me wrong and that we haven't wasted a 6th round pick on a dirt bag underachiever.
