The date is yet to be set for the induction, which includes press box supervisor Sal La Rock as the third inductee.
Armstead spent nine seasons in New Orleans, earning one All-Pro selection and three Pro Bowl appearances. Durability is one of Armstead's achievements as the lineman started 93 out of 97 games as a Saint.
Ingram was a Saint for 10 of 12 seasons and ran for 6,500 yards and 52 touchdowns, which are good for second in team history behind current Saints running back Alvin Kamara.
"Being in this hall of fame, representing this team in this city — I couldn't write a better story," said Armstead, a third-round pick from Arkansas Pine-Bluff in 2013. "It's perfect for me, it's perfect for my family. This is everything for me. This is, I made it. This is the pinnacle, this is the goal.
"The Saints will always be me. I will always be a Saint, for the rest of my life, and we will always represent the Black and Gold. No matter what I do, where I go, I will be a representation of that, anywhere in the world. The future of the Saints, I'm invested. The winning, the success of everything to come forth, I'm invested. I'm here as a resource: Anything that I can ever do for this organization, for this city, I'm here.
"The main thing that I take from the city of New Orleans is the resilience — the willingness and the ability to battle back, to respond to anything. Any challenge, any adversity. That's the identity of New Orleans, that's the identity of me and I'm here now as a Hall of Famer. Couldn't be more proud."
Both players are fan favorites and legends in New Orleans. Their time to be recognized is now.
