The names are familiar. Darren Sproles. Reggie Bush. Pierre Thomas. Even older fans still remember Tony Galbreath. But when it comes to all-around RBs in Saints history a name that's rarely, if ever, mentioned is Wayne Wilson. And make no mistake about it Wayne Wilson is one of the better all-around football players to ever play for the New Orleans Saints. He could run, catch, block, and return kicks.
Wilson was drafted in the 12th round by the Houston Oilers in 1979 but was released by the team and then later picked up by the Saints that same year.
