|
| Strengths | Very natural receiver with great size. Excellent hands, can snatch the ball from the air and secure it quickly. Has no problem climbing the ladder or hitting the turf to make tough catches. Good overall athleticism, has good short-area quickness and agility for his size. Physically and functionally strong. Very fluid, polished route runner--runs patterns with great shoulders and footwork. Has surprising elusiveness with the ball in his hands, hard to tackle with a good nose for the end zone. Generally an adequate run blocker, does better at the second level and downfield than in-line. Hard worker who attacked rehab from his injury.
|
| Weaknesses | Suffered a torn ACL that caused him to miss the 2008 season. His dynamic athletic prowess is what set him apart at the position, so he must prove he is 100% recovered and has not lost anything. While he is willing to engage as a run blocker, he needs lots of work on hand placement and keeping his balance and leverage. Iffy in blitz recognition and pickup--if the QB or T didn’t point it out, Ingram often had no clue where his protection responsibility was.
