I know there has been a lot of talk and hype around this kid. Especially in these forums with a lot fans drooling at the idea of him playing for the Patriots and being our feature back. A lot of that talk is very justified, theres no denying that Ingram is a great athlete and has been a great back in college.
The "in college" part there is key because like any position in football RBs dont always produce in the NFL nearly as much as they did in college *coughreggiebushcough*.
Its not like this 40 time is his death sentence but it is no way impressive for a feature back in the NFL. Say what you want about him being a power back but I just dont buy it... successful power backs in the league have run faster times. I mean Brandon freaking Jacobs ran a 4.56 or even MJDs 4.39 if you want a back that compares better to Ingram. I understand that you have to take the 40 time with a grain of salt because theres football fast and t-shirt and shorts fast, but lets face its not like Ingram is somehow gonna get faster when he puts on pads.
After this do you guys still want to use one of our firsts to draft Mark Ingram?
