Taysom Hill made NFL history with his latest touchdown pass

Now that’s impressive. Taysom Hill has built a reputation as a do-it-all utility player, but the New Orleans Saints dynamo has some proof to back up the chatter. CBS Sports found that Hill is the only player in NFL history to have scored 10 touchdowns as both a passer, receiver, and runner, including the playoffs. No one else has done that since the league merger in 1966.

Hill has appeared in 78 regular season games and 6 postseason matchups, for a total of 84 games — he went into Sunday’s game with the Atlanta Falcons with 42 combined touchdowns in his pro career. Here’s how they stacked up after his 68-yard touchdown pass to rookie receiver Rashid Shaheed:

Regular Season Postseason Combined
TD Passes 10 0 10
TD Runs 21 0 21
TD Catches 9 2 11

There have been many exciting talents to stand out in the NFL since its inception, but there’s only been one Taysom Hill. He deserves a lot of credit for finding his niche with New Orleans and becoming someone who can help them win football games. Let’s see what his next trick will be.
