Taysom Hill climbs higher among Saints' all-time leading scorers
Taysom Hill is rungs higher on the list of all-time leading scorers with his 10-yard rushing touchdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Hill has now broken his tie with Pierre Thomas for touchdowns scored in Saints history. He now sits at ninth overall with 42 touchdowns combined between his efforts as a runner, receiver and returner, a perfect illustration of just how much of a Swiss army knife he truly is. Eric Martin is next ahead of him with 48 touchdowns scored.
Several teams have tried to replicate Hill over the years and have failed to this point, and it's easy to get the sense there may never be another quite like him. The Saints get to reap the fortune of that at the rest of the league's expense.
Sunday's touchdown run marked the 13th rushing touchdown in his career.
Hill came into the game with 10 receptions on 14 targets for 100 yards, also totaling 130 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries.
How he continues to add to his legacy both in this game and down the rest of the schedule will be something to watch.
The Saints lead the Browns, 7-6 at the top of the second quarter.
