New Orleans Saints[]

The New Orleans Saints selected Ingram in the first round with the 28th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft—the same pick number the Giants used to draft his father, Mark Ingram Sr., twenty-four years earlier, at the same age.[65][66] Ingram was the first running back drafted in 2011; since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, this was the latest pick used for the first running back chosen in an NFL draft.[67] The Saints acquired the pick from the New England Patriots, trading their second-round selection (#56 overall) and their first-round selection in 2012 to do so.[66] As Alabama head coach Nick Saban is part of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's coaching tree, the Patriots were widely assumed to be interested in drafting Ingram themselves.[68] On July 28, 2011, Ingram decided on the number #28 in honor of his and his father's draft pick number.[69] The next day Ingram agreed with the Saints on a four-year contract, with three years guaranteed and a fifth year option.
