Taysom Hill joined rare company with his do-it-all performance against the Indianapolis Colts. The Saints’ Swiss army knife is closing in on NFL history — he’s one of a select few players who have gained 40-plus yards as a passer and runner with 10 or more receiving yards in multiple games.
There have been 78 such performances in NFL history, and a decent-sized crowd has done it once or twice. But Hill is one of five players who have done it three times, along with Cam Newton, George Taliafe, Ray Evans, and Tom Tracy. And that isn’t the mountaintop.
Two legendary pros have done so four times: Pro Football Hall of Famer Walter Payton and Louisiana legend John David Crow. Hill is one more game away from tying them, and two from making the record his own.
