The New Orleans Saints have enjoyed a career year from running back Mark Ingram, who's racked up 1,045 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 204 carries, with an additional 375 yards coming through the air on a career-high 51 receptions.
The first-round pick in 2011 has partnered with 2017 third-round pick, Alvin Kamara to accomplish something that hasn't been done in the NFL since 1975.
Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara are the first running back duo to make the Pro Bowl since 1975.

Kamara, drafted 67th overall in 2017, has 652 rushing yards, 684 receiving yards, and 12 total touchdowns on 167 total touches through 14 games.
The Saints' two Pro Bowl running backs have propelled the team to a 10-4 record and the top seed in the NFC South heading into a Week 16 matchup with the rival Atlanta Falcons.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated Ingram would become a free agent at the end of the 2017 season as a result of his Pro Bowl selection. For that clause to have been activated, Ingram required multiple Pro Bowl selections. It's still possible the final year of Ingram's contract will be voided if he is named an All-Pro for the 2017 season.
