Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram has already enjoyed a successful nine-year NFL career, but how much longer will the 30-year-old be able to play at a high level?

In a conference call with Ravens Public Relations Manager Tom Valente, Ingram discussed the remainder of his career, his contract, the 2011 NFL lockout and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

With the pandemic certainly affecting the NFL offseason in some way or another, Ingram was asked about going into his 10th NFL season and how much left he has in the tank.

“I'm just blessed and thankful the Lord has my body feeling this way. I'm with a great team that takes care of me, and I feel like I can play this game at a high level – at the highest level – for at least another four or five years. I feel like that. I honestly do. My body feels good. I'm moving good. I have nothing really lagging. If I do, I'll be working on it, rehabbing it, strengthening it up so all my weaknesses are turning into my strengths. I just want to be the best, man. I want to be one of the best,” the Ravens Pro Bowler added.

Last season, his first with the Ravens, the former Heisman Trophy winner recorded 202 carries for 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns while also being a major receiving threat with an additional 247 yards and five touchdowns.

“When you talk about running backs who had long, prestigious careers, I want to be in that discussion. I want to be talked about that way. I just want to be the best player that I can be. I want to win championships, and I want to do it at a high level, and I feel like I can do that for a long time,” Mark Ingram added.

“So, God willing, I have health and all that. But yes, it's not to prove anybody wrong, but it's basically to prove everyone who believed in me all this time right. And myself, I have goals for myself, man, so I'm chasing them really hard, and I just feel like I'm going to keep getting better with the experience, with the knowledge and how I'm training and taking care of my body mentally, physically [and] emotionally. My family [giving] me support – I just feel like I can play this game at a high level for a long time.”

Despite entering his 30s, Ingram enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career in 2019 and it looks like he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
