NFL Mock Draft 2011: Miami Dolphins, Meet Mark Ingram

April 4, 2011   ·   Alec Dopp   ·   Jump to comments

One of the few consensus first-round picks of the entire draft, the Miami Dolphins should be satisfied with what Mark Ingram brings to the table: powerful legs, decisiveness, great personality and work-ethic that's second-to-none.

The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner carried the load for Nick Saban's offense for the past three seasons, totaling up over 3,200 yards and 42 touchdowns for the Crimson Tide.  But that's not where the positives end.

Ingram is ranked as the top running back in this year's class in part for his past success, but more for his solid workouts at the NFL Combine and Alabama's pro-day workouts.  And with the aging of Rickie Williams and Ronnie Brown's injury history, Ingram is almost a lock to go to the Dolphins.

Behind a solid offensive line led by former first-round pick Jake Long, Ingram looks to have an impressive rookie season in Miami.
