Mark Ingram sure has some lofty goals. He doesn’t just want to be the best running back in the game right now, he wants to be the best back in the history of football.
“The sky’s the limit, man. I want to be the best back to ever play the freakin’ game of football,” Ingram said, via ESPN.
Through three NFL seasons since the Saints took him in the first round of the 2011 draft, Ingram has fallen slightly short of being the best ever. He has 356 carries for 1,462 yards and 11 touchdowns so far in his career. Those numbers wouldn’t even make him the best running back in the NFL if he had compiled them in one year, let alone three.
As of right now he’s not even the best back on his team. He’s surely going to have to do much better in order to reach that goal.
