Comments on: Mark Ingram runs official 4.62 forty at Combine http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/27/alabamas-mark-ingram-runs-in-the-4-5s-at-combine/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 16:09:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: gregjennings85 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/27/alabamas-mark-ingram-runs-in-the-4-5s-at-combine/#comment-977376 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:08:27 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=114099#comment-977376 Also, all this talk about Emmitt Smith is ridiculous. This kid has been solid in a run-first offense with a loaded supporting cast.

To make the leap in logic that he will be like Emmit Smith because they have similar measurables is laughable.

Smith’s greatest attribute was his vision…that…and the 1,500 pounds of offensive line in front of him.

So, with that, I’ll state: Unless he ends up in Carolina, Cleveland or Kansas City, he’s going to disappoint.

As a nervous observer of the Eagles’ recent solid drafts, there is no way Reid uses a 1st round pick on a situational RB.

I’m 99% sure Philly will be going O-line first, and then defensive front seven after that.

This kid keeps getting compared to Shonne Greene. Problem is, Greene can move a pile, while carrying 3 tacklers.

Ingram had running lanes the size of elephants, and he still wasn’t exceptional.

I think his hype puts him in the top-15, but his talent is more in the 3rd round range.

I would rather gamble on a back in the later rounds than lock up a Maurice Clarrett-type gamble.

Emmitt Smith was no speed demon either remember.

Sounds like he is a Marion Barber III at best.

Mention the name “Dolphins” and we’re in for another Dolphin con. First it was Ricky Williams. Then it was Ronnie Brown. Now it’s Mark Ingram. And the only playoff appearance the Dolphins got out of it was when they brought in Pennington.

Don’t worry. Saban is badmouthing the Dolphins organization to Ingram as we speak.

Step 2: PFT writes “but anything sub-4.6 would qualify as a successful time for him.”
Step 3: Release official time of 4.62
Step 4: Laugh

It’s in this man’s DNA to highstep. That alone is enough reason to draft him.
