“The sky’s the limit, man. I want to be the best back to ever play the freakin’ game of football,” Ingram said, according to ESPN.com.

The 5-10, 215-pound back has recorded 11 rushing touchdowns and averaged 4.1 yards per carry and 39.5 yards per game over three seasons with New Orleans.

Ingram starred at Alabama, winning the Heisman Trophy and a national championship, and was selected in the first round of the 2011 draft.
