Mark Ingram might be scoring touchdowns for the Baltimore Ravens these days, but he’s still very tight with his old New Orleans Saints teammates — so much so that he’s co-hosting a weekly podcast with Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, entitled “Truss Levelz” (derived from each player’s on-field celebrations and catchphrases) and produced by The Players’ Tribune.
Ingram and Jordan were both drafted by New Orleans back in 2011 as first-round picks (Jordan at No. 24, Ingram at No. 28), and they’re each ranked high in the franchise record books. Ingram bested Deuce McAllister’s career touchdown runs record (50) before leaving for the Ravens in free agency a year ago, while Jordan is a couple of good years away from competing with Rickey Jackson’s all-time sacks record (Jackson had 115; Jordan is next-best with 87).
The pair plans to give listeners an inside scoop to two of the NFL’s most vibrant locker rooms, having lined up interviews with all-star teammates like Alvin Kamara, Lamar Jackson, and Marquise Brown. Their list of guests includes other big names such as Travis Kelce, Bobby Wagner, George Kittle, Derrick Henry (another proud Alabama product and Heisman Trophy winner, like Ingram) and Mike Evans, which might get contentious.
Episode 1 drops Wednesday, Sept. 23 on all major podcast platforms, and The Players’ Tribune website, and Kamara will be their first guest appearance. So we’ll be sure to tune in; while you’re looking them up, be sure to subscribe to our own Saints Wire weekly podcast to review the latest happenings for the black and gold.
