Not too shabby. Taysom Hill stamped his place in NFL history with his touchdown catch against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, joining four other players in the “10-10-10” club. Frank Gifford, Red Grange, Charley Trippi, Jimmy Conzelman and Hill are the only players in league history to throw 10 touchdown passes and score 10 apiece as a runner and receiver.
It’s actually something Hill had 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.
The most recent player to reach the milestone was Gifford, the former New York Giants halfback who was a dynamic do-it-all threat in his illustrious 136-game career from 1952 to 1964. He ended his career with 34 rushing touchdowns, 43 touchdown catches and 14 touchdown passes. Gifford won an NFL championship 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.
