The Panini America Interview: New Orleans Saints Standout Rookie Mark Ingram

September 08, 2011

Simply, there’s no better time of year (with the possible exception of Christmas) than the start of the NFL season — which makes tonight’s legendary lid-lifter between the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and the Super Bowl XLIV-winning New Orleans Saints somewhat epic.

There will be no shortage of hobby headliners suiting up tonight inside legendary Lambeau Field. But one player in particular — a bona fide legend in his own right — has already become one of the most collected players of the 2011 season: Mark Ingram.

 The former Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion from Alabama will demand all eyes as he embarks on his NFL career. We had the chance to sit down with the affable Ingram in late May at the 2011 NFL PLAYERS Rookie Premiere. Spend any time at all with the man and you’ll leave a fan. 

In honor of Ingram’s history-making debut tonight, we figured now was the perfect time to share the engaging piece of video.
