Chris Ivory College
Washington State
Ivory played three years for Washington State from 2006 to 2008. Limited by injuries, in 22 games he had 91 rushes for 534 yards and four touchdowns, as well as 23 kickoff returns averaging 22.8 yards.
When the coaches who had recruited him were replaced by a new coaching staff, Ivory found himself far down on the Cougars’ depth chart. In August 2009, he was dismissed from the Washington State team for violating team rules.
Tiffin University
Ivory transferred to Tiffin University, a Division II school in Tiffin, Ohio, whose team was coached by Dave Walkosky, a former Washington State assistant coach.
In Ivory’s final year of college football, he had 39 rushes for 223 yards in five games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Walkosky attempted to obtain a medical redshirt exemption to allow Ivory to play another year, but this was unsuccessful.
Despite his brief stint at Tiffin University, Ivory’s performance and speed attracted attention from NFL scouts, and he was thought to have a chance of becoming the first Tiffin University player to be drafted by the NFL.
The Saints became interested in Ivory, despite his injuries, after one of their scouts was impressed by Walkosky’s enthusiastic recommendations.
Chris Ivory Saints
Ivory was drafted to the New Orleans Saints during the 2010 NFL Draft, but he reached a deal with the Saints immediately after the draft and signed as an undrafted free agent on May 3, 2010.
Ivory had an impressive performance in training camp and preseason games, highlighted by a strong performance against the San Diego Chargers that included a 76-yard touchdown on a swing pass.
Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas left Ivory as the Saints’ starting running back. Ivory had a breakout game in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: his 158 yards on 15 carries were the most by any Saints running back since Deuce McAllister rushed for 165 yards in a 2003 game, and the most by a Saints rookie since a 179-yard effort by Ricky Williams in 1999.
The performance earned him awards as both Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week and FedEx Ground Player of the Week. Another strong performance in Week 11, with 23 rushes for 99 yards in a 34–19 win over against the Seattle Seahawks, led Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to call Ivory “a freaking stud out there.”
Ivory ended the regular season with 137 rushes for 716 yards, which led the team, and five touchdowns, but he also suffered repeated injuries during the year; after a foot injury in the Saints’ last regular-season game, he was placed on the injured reserve list and was unable to play in the postseason.
Ivory spent the first six games of the 2011 season on the PUP list; after he was activated, he played in six games, with 79 rushes for 374 yards, and 22 carries for 70 yards in the Saints’ two playoff games against the Detroit Lions in the Wild Card Round and the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round.
In May 2012, the Saints paid Ivory an additional signing bonus to make up for the income he lost on the PUP list. He became a restricted free agent after the 2012 season. He appeared in six games in the 2012 season and recorded 40 carries for 217 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Chris Ivory Injury
Ivory has a sprained left shoulder and was labeled “day-to-day” by coach Sean McDermott on Monday, Chris Brown of the Bills’ official site reports.
Ivory actually had to go to the hospital following the injury, but McDermott said it was because team doctors wanted to ensure there were no internal injuries beneath the shoulder injury. It turns out that was the case, so the veteran could still be an option for this week’s game against the Jets.
McDermott tends to label his guys “day-to-day” if they have at least a decent chance of playing in the next game, while he generally uses the “week-to-week” label for players that are expected to miss some time. We’ll know more when the Bills resume practice Wednesday.

On September 7, 2014, he had a 71-yard touchdown run as part of a 102-yard performance against the Oakland Raiders in the season opener. It was the second-longest touchdown run in Jets history; Bruce Harper ran for 78 yards in 1983. On October 16, against the New England Patriots, he had 107 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Ten days later, he had his lone two-touchdown performance of the season against the Buffalo Bills. Overall, he finished the 2014 season with 821 rushing yards, six rushing touchdowns, and 18 receptions for 123 yards and a receiving touchdown.
In the 2015 season opener against the Cleveland Browns, Ivory had 91 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the 31–10 victory.
On October 4, 2015, during an NFL International Series matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium, Ivory rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown, setting a career-high in rushing yards.
He followed that up with 146 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown against the Washington Redskins. Ivory won the AFC rushing title in the 2015 season beating Latavius Murray by four yards, finishing the year with 1,070 rushing yards and his first Pro Bowl selection.
