Summary: Ingram won the Heisman trophy last season. He's a powerful runner who does a good job of finding and hitting the hole. Although he doesn't have great speed, he has the ability to hit that extra gear when he gets into open field. Usually big backs like Ingram don't have that great of hands, but he does and will be a multiple threat on the field. For now it looks like Ingram will be the 1st back taken in next year's draft. What worries me about him is he enters this season with all the hype and will have a bullseye on his back. That could cause a down year for him. He needs to do drills to work on his balance to take advantage of his power and run people over and stay up. He is one of those backs that always seems to fall forward though, reminds me of Rudi Johnson in that regard.
