The New Orleans Saints might already have the most dynamic running back in the NFL, but Drew Brees is excited for the return of Mark Ingram. Ingram's four-game suspension from a PED (performance enhancing drug) violation is finally done, so he'll suit up for the Saints' Week 5 matchup with the Washington Redskins.

Brees says he misses a couple of different things about Ingram. He knows that getting him back will give the Saints an exciting one-two punch out of their backfield.

“Not just his productivity and the type of player he is, but he's one of the most well-liked, well-respected guys in the locker room. And I know it's been killing him to be away,” Brees said to Mike Triplett of ESPN. “So really excited to get him back, get his personality back, get his work ethic.”

Mark Ingram rushed for 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns last year, both career-high marks. He's rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his past two seasons. He's demonstrating why he won the Heisman Trophy back in his college days at Alabama.

Alvin Kamara is getting a hefty load of touches in Ingram's absence. His 611 yards from scrimmage lead the entire NFL. Just when you though Drew Brees and the Saints couldn't get more explosive, they did.

The Saints sit atop the NFC South standings with a one game lead over the Carolina Panthers. If Ingram returns just as lethal as he was last year, the Saints will be hard to beat.
