Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 5th round with the #17 pick.
If not for a knee injury that wiped out his senior year, Ingram could have garned day one consideration. Ingram is an athletic receiving type who is still learning the position. Has the speed to get down the seam but will need to improve as a blocker. One of the best values of round 5.
