New Orleans Saints: RB Mark Ingram

He’s one of the premier running backs in the league. In 73 regular-season contests, versatile Alvin Kamara has rolled up an impressive 7,501 yards from scrimmage and 67 visits to the end zone. Seven postseason games have added up to 631 yards and four scores. And the 2017 third-round pick from the University of Tennessee has been named to the Pro Bowl each year he’s been in the league.

But Kamara’s availability could be in doubt when the team opens the season (via Pro Football Talk). Last year, 2011 first-round pick Mark Ingram returned to the team via a trade with the Texans. And he could wind up being the focal point of the Saints’ ground attack for the early part of the season.

New York Giants: G Mark Glowinski

The offensive line for this club has been an issues for far too many years. And with a number of promising additions, it will be interesting to see if this unit is any better this coming season. General manager Joe Schoen, who comes over from the Buffalo Bills, inked guard Jon Feliciano to a free-agent. He also used the seventh overall pick in the draft to select University of Alabama tackle Evan Neal.

The Giants also signed guard Mark Glowinski earlier this year. He began his career in Seattle but spent the past four seasons with the Colts – starting every game for the club the past three seasons. And he could wind up being the best of the new faces up front.
