Saints' Taysom Hill first to hit TD mark in over 60 years - ESPN

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill might be one of the most unique players to come along in the past 66 years.

That's how long it has been since a player joined the NFL's 10/10/10 club: 10 passing touchdowns, 10 receiving touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns.

Hill became the fifth player to hit that career mark Sunday in the Saints' 24-17 win against the Chicago Bears, joining Hall of Famers Frank Gifford, Charley Trippi, Red Grange and Jimmy Conzelman.

Gifford, who played multiple positions for the New York Giants from 1952 to 1964, was the last person to hit those marks, back in 1957. He retired at age 34 with 34 rushing touchdowns, 43 receiving touchdowns and 14 passing touchdowns.

«I think that's pretty impressive, right?» coach Dennis Allen said. «Half the guys in the locker room would have no idea who Frank Gifford is.»

Hill, who was in the room as Allen was speaking after the game, smiled when asked if he was one of those players.

«I've heard of him because… the stats guys told me about these stats,» Hill said. «So I have heard of him. Yeah, of course.»

Against the Bears, Hill had 11 carries for 52 yards, caught four passes for 13 yards and a touchdown and also had a 3-yard TD pass to tight end Juwan Johnson.

Hill, with his first passing and receiving touchdowns of the season, became the third Saints player to have both types of TDs in the same game, joining Dalton Hilliard (1987) and Lamar Smith (1998).

Hill has been on a tear lately, accounting for five touchdowns in the past three weeks after not scoring in the first six.
