he's been a beast this year. he was tattooing tannehill last week.

didnt he play DT for USCe? seems like he really transformed his body.


He was signed as a FB/NT ... but he started to develop, lost some weight, got moved to LB.

Got moved to DE and still did not peak even though he was an All-SEC All-American his senior year ... probably best remembered for the fake punt TD at Georgia.

He's one of those guys who is just now peaking.

He was an absolute freak at the combines though. A rare combination of strength, speed, athleticism and the thing about Melvin is he has (no jinx) managed to stay relatively healthy.

He set several records at the combines. ESPN featured him on the "science of the game" piece they did that year.

Everyone talks about what a freak Clowney was/is ... but Ingram is a true beast. Flexible, mentally adept at his game ... he's a very rare specimen.

He was actually signed as a LB and played MLB in his first game against Louisiana-Lafayette in 2007.

He didn't want to play with his hand on the ground though and it took several years for him to buy into it
