MIAMI -- Adopted at birth, Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold believes he would have dedicated his time toward helping children and youth in foster care, no matter where his career took him.

He had a plan if football didn’t work out; in fact, you could argue that football was Plan B.

Around his junior year at Wisconsin, Ingold was skeptical of his NFL future, so he began preparing for a career outside of sports. He had even accepted what he called a “big-time” offer from Oracle before ultimately signing with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
