Melvin Ingram . 9. player. 46. Yes Andrew Luck needs more protection and a better running game but Ryan Grigson got at least one thing right.

<p>Melvin Ingram doesn’t get the same amount of press these days as teammate Joey Bosa. That’s a shame too because he’s quietly put together a pair of solid seasons as outside linebacker for the newly minted Los Angeles Chargers. That includes 18.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles. The health problems that dogged him early in his career seem to have passed. Now he’s become an effective every-down edge linebacker. Exactly what the Colts want.</p>. OLB. Los Angeles
