Saints confuse Lynn Bowden for Mark Ingram in official game program

The New Orleans Saints are doing Lynn Bowden Jr. no favors as he fights to earn a roster spot ahead of the 53-man cutdown deadline on August 29. They can’t even tell the former Kentucky superstar apart from three-time NFL Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram II.

The Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama suited up for the Saints from 2011-18, then again to close out his career in 2021-22. Beloved in New Orleans, he rushed for a total of 6,500 yards with 52 touchdowns on 1,451 carries while adding 1,804 receiving yards and five scores through the air across ten seasons with the franchise.
