Just two players in New Orleans Saints franchise history have passed this unique milestone (or 2.8 miles’ stone) by picking up 2,500 or more yards as a runner and another 2,500-plus yards as a receiver: Pierre Thomas and Alvin Kamara. They are the only players in team history to sprint past the 5,000 total and leave their mark on the Saints record books.
Now, that’s not to say they are the two best to ever do it in New Orleans (though Kamara’s historically-great rate of scoring touchdowns gives him a shot). What it does mean is that few players have managed to be just as effective on passing plays as they were on running downs for the Saints.
