Not too shabby. Taysom Hill stamped his place in NFL history with his touchdown catch against the Chicago Bears on Sunday — joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Frank Gifford. Gifford and Hill are the only players in league history to score at least ten touchdowns as a passer, runner, and receiver.
It’s actually something Hill has already accomplished if you include the playoffs; but now you can leave that qualifier out. Hill has been a reliable scoring threat for the New Orleans Saints with 10 touchdown receptions, 10 touchdown passes, and 26 rushing touchdowns in his career during the regular season.
As for Gifford: the former New York Giants halfback was a dynamic do-it-all threat in his illustrious 136-game career from 1952 to 1964, ending his career with 34 rushing touchdowns and 43 touchdown catches, plus 14 touchdown passes. Gifford won a Super Bowl with the Giants and earned eight Pro Bowl nods, plus four spots on the All-Pro team. Those are lofty heights for Hill to chase, but it’s great company to keep.
Update: Hill later threw a touchdown pass against the Bears, giving him 11 such scores in his career.
