We thought that Ingram would be in competition for the position with Nathan [Hodel]. He’s an athletic guy, a little bit smaller than some of the snappers in the league, but a little bit more athletic than most of the snappers in the league. I think his athleticism versus his size is kind of the comparison or where the competition will be. [He’s] an experienced guy. He’s done that. He can block. He can cover pretty well. His snaps are accurate; they had good velocity. So I think that he will be competitive for that position. I felt like he was a top player for his position in the draft.
That directly contradicts some of the pre-draft scouting reports suggesting Ingram wasn't much of a cover/tackling guy. And so the pick now makes more sense to me.
