To me that’s family... I’ve made a lot of friends in the locker room and I’ve created family ties to some guys.  I’ve watched some of the best teammates leave and IF this happens for real -- this one gone hurt

Offensive tackel Terron Armstead vouched for Ingram's locker room presence:

It’s really tough for people on the outside to understand Mark’s value. He brings energy to any room he steps in! Plays with fire that’s contagious to all of us! ⚜️ for life!
