The Facts: Ingram's seventh NFL season has been his best one yet. And the New Orleans Saints running back is on such a torrid pace that it's possible he could run himself into free agency a year early.

Diehards Line: As the New Orleans Advocate first pointed out, Ingram has a clause in his contract that will void the remainder of the deal after this season if he is named first-team All-Pro by The Associated Press. Ingram is a bit of a long shot for that honor, especially since the AP switched last year from naming two first-team running backs to one running back and one “flex” player. Plus, of course, Ingram is sharing a backfield with breakout rookie Alvin Kamara, who has been running just as hot. But that hasn’t stopped Ingram from putting up some of the best numbers in the NFL as he has entered the pantheon of fellow stars such as Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, LeSean McCoy and Kareem Hunt. Over the entire season, Ingram is tied for first in the NFL with eight rushing TDs, fourth in the league with 806 rushing yards and fourth among running backs with 1,019 yards from scrimmage. If he does in the next six games what he has done in the past six, he will finish with 1,442 rushing yards, 1,743 yards from scrimmage and 16 rushing touchdowns. So, yeah, if he keeps up his current pace, a first-team All-Pro selection is realistic.
