A Pro Bowl fullback who converted from linebacker at Wisconsin and became one of the league's premier lead blockers.
Alec Ingold has spent his career as a throwback fullback, first as an undrafted find for the Raiders, then as a key piece of Mike McDaniel's Miami offense, and now reuniting with McDaniel in Los Angeles. His versatility as a blocker and occasional receiver has kept him a valued roster piece for eight NFL seasons.
Path to the league
Ingold began at Wisconsin as a linebacker before switching to fullback as a freshman, ultimately playing in 51 games with 11 starts for the Badgers, rushing for 343 yards and 17 touchdowns and adding 185 receiving yards. He went undrafted in 2019 and signed with the Raiders.
Career highlights
Ingold spent three seasons with the Raiders (2019-21) before signing with the Dolphins in 2022, where he became a core part of Miami's outside-zone rushing scheme under Mike McDaniel. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2023, a career-best season for receiving yards.
2025 season recap
Ingold played all 17 games for Miami in 2025, logging about 37 percent of offensive snaps while carrying twice for nine yards and catching eight passes for 52 yards. After the season, a coaching change in Miami led to his release, and he signed a two-year, $7.5 million deal with the Chargers, making him the NFL's highest-paid fullback.
