The annual NFL-USO tour gives players the opportunity to visit U.S. troops and their families stationed abroad, and, as New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram demonstrated Wednesday, test their abilities against highly trained security dogs.

In a follow-up video, Ingram said he was peer pressured into the situation.
