The 42-year-old Ingram also was ordered in Long Island federal court to pay
$252,000 in restitution. He is free on $200,000 bail until Dec. 5.
He said the criminal record he has had since his 1996 retirement is "not who
I am."
"It hurts me to my core," Ingram said. "I made mistakes."
Ingram pleaded guilty in November 2005 to laundering money he believed to be
proceeds from narcotics deals and to bank fraud for cashing counterfeit
checks.
His sentencing was delayed as he tried to revoke the plea, fired several
court-appointed attorneys and made what prosecutors termed "outlandish"
legal arguments, including a claim that he was immune from prosecution
because he enjoyed diplomatic status as a head of state.
He said he counsels troubled youths, volunteers with various charities and
understands that his football feats make him a role model.
U.S. District Court Judge Denis R. Hurley noted the "dedication and
commitment" Ingram had shown on the football field but also his record,
which includes seven previous convictions and goes back 23 years.

"He is like many of us: multifaceted," Hurley said as he sentenced Ingram
to 92 months in prison and up to five years of probation.
Ingram is best remembered for eluding five tackles to make a key first down
during the '91 Super Bowl in which the Giants beat Buffalo.
Ingram also played for the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers and
Philadelphia Eagles.
