Ingram, a student at Meharry Medical College, has been added to the Green Bay Packers’ medical staff for training camp. This move is part of the NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiative and was announced by General Manager Brian Gutekunst on Tuesday.
Ingram specializes in orthopedics and originally hails from Shreveport, Louisiana. He played outside linebacker/strong safety at Mississippi College, where he majored in biology medical science with a minor in psychology. Ingram was also recognized as a 2022 Nth Dimensions Scholar, an organization that supports underrepresented minorities and women in the field of medicine.
The NFL has launched an initiative called the NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiative, which aims to increase and diversify the pipeline of students interested in pursuing careers in sports medicine. The program provides medical students with the opportunity to complete a clinical rotation with NFL club medical staff. By doing so, this initiative hopes to make a positive impact on the medical field and help diversify NFL club medical staff over time.
