As reported by FlintOnFull.com, The Sporting News has listed Mark Ingram as top of the list when it comes to rookies who will make an immediate impact.  The Sporting News is quoted,

"Saints coach Sean Payton loves the inside running game. Not only does it wear down opponents, but it also opens things up for Drew Brees and the passing attack. Ingram should help restore some crush in the rush.

He manufactures yards in between the tackles much better than a lot of runners,” CBS and NFL Sirius Radio analyst Solomon Wilcots said. “When people compare him to Emmitt Smith, they are right. He’s got that jump cut that Emmitt had, where he’s going in a hole here but as soon as that blocker comes down he jumps backside and out the gate."
