It’s no secret that the Falcons are in dire need of a running game. This has been an area where the team has really struggled to find consistent production in recent years.
One potential option could be Mark Ingram, who was recently released by the Baltimore Ravens. Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst, Ingram’s former teammate, floated the idea out there on Twitter.

To make it even more interesting, Ingram played for the New Orleans Saints, the previous employer of Atlanta’s new general manager Terry Fontenot.
On the other hand, Ingram has been effective mostly in a committee approach on offense and hasn’t been used as a lead back since he was at Alabama. Not to mention, at 31 years old, his health going forward is a concern as well.
Ingram was drafted by the Saints in the first round back in 2011. Over his 10-year NFL career, he’s rushed for 7,324 yards and 62 touchdowns.
