Posted is an excerpt from a recent interview of 10-year NFL veteran, and Super Bowl champions, Mark Ingram Sr. on The African-American Athlete Show.

He currently plays for the New Orleans Saints.
Ingram Sr. talked about the tough love he showed his son as an athlete, and how his family helped raise his son when he was incarcerated. Ingram Sr. served five years in prison for money laundering and fraud.
