Mark Ingram, a first-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2011, played eight years with the franchise before heading to the Baltimore Ravens. After spending two years in Baltimore, he played one year donning the Houston Texans’ jersey before going back to New Orleans and unofficially ending his NFL career.
Besides being just the fourth footballer to record 1,000 yards in several seasons with the team with the Saints and only the third player to earn the mark in back-to-back years, Mark is also a dad of four kids. Recently, one of his kids did something that left some NFL rookies absolutely speechless.
NFL rookies react to Mark Ingram’s daughter’s viral video
Back in May, Ingram shared a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showcasing his 6-year-old daughter’s athletic skill in flag football with some boys one or two years older than her, with the caption,” My 6-year-old daughter putting 7/8-year-old boys in the blender.” Some NFL rookies were shown the video of the Alabama product’s daughter to let them identify which player’s kid she was.

Before hitting the guess, these rookies’ minds blew away seeing her skill. One said, “She has been watching football on Friday night, Saturday morning, night and Sunday. She knows how to do all that.”
Another said, ” She’s like Tyreek Hill out there.”
A rookie exclaimed, “High and tight. Okay! She is goin’ to the league.”
These young stars were asked to offer their assumption with a hint that the girl is the child of an NFL linebacker who played for the Ravens and Saints. All of them guessed it correctly and exclaimed saying the 11-year NFL veteran schooled up her girl well.
What is Mark Ingram up to after retirement?
After retiring from the NFL following more than a decade of football career, Ingram made up his mind to be a part of FOX’s college football’s most-watched window “Big Noon Kickoff” for the 2023 season, taking the place of the former Saints running back Reggie Bush.
FOX Sports President of Production and Operations, executive producer Brad Zager voiced excitement to sign a deal with the former Heisman winner.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Heisman Trophy-winner and BCS National Champion Mark Ingram to the FOX Sports family. Mark’s infectious personality, outstanding playing credentials, and above all passion for the game is what makes him such an invaluable asset to our team. With him on board, BIG NOON KICKOFF will continue to provide viewers with unparalleled analysis and commentary each and every Saturday,” Zager said.
The Flint, Miami native also expressed his excitement to join analysts Urban Meyer, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, and host Rob Stone in the show,
“I’m thrilled to join FOX Sports and BIG NOON KICKOFF. I can’t wait to feel the energy and excitement every Saturday, alongside some of the most talented and entertaining names in our sport, at the biggest games in college football – I’m ready for the Fall!”
With his immense contribution to the Saints squad, Mark is set to enlist his name in the prestigious Hall of Fame list, and we wish him all the best for his journey ahead.
