Decline at 29? Ravens' Mark Ingram set to deliver his rebuttal

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Mark Ingram II could be the oldest starting running back in the NFL this season, but he doesn't feel like it.

At 29 years old, Ingram has heard how that's the time when many running backs suffer a decline in production. Few running backs crack 1,000 yards at this point of their careers, much less carry the load for their teams.

Ingram, the top back in the Baltimore Ravens' run-heavy offense, is determined to counter that argument.

“People say what they want. I don’t feel like you can put an age on somebody," Ingram said.
