Mark Ingram thinks Adrian Peterson is "one of the best running backs that has ever walked on this planet."
But, as Ingram looks ahead to the 2017 season with Peterson in the same backfield, he's still hoping to show that he can be even better than he was during his career-best performance in 2016.
Ingram ran for 1,043 yards last season, becoming the first New Orleans Saints running back to eclipse 1,000 yards since Deuce McAllister in 2006.
And, really, that statistic should explain why the addition of Peterson this offseason didn't catch Ingram off guard.
