In the history of the New Orleans Saints franchise, dating back to its founding in 1967, the Saints have never had a running back hang around long enough to put up Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith like numbers. Sanders was in the NFL for 10 years with the Lions and Smith 13 with the Cowboys and 15 overall. But some great names have come through the Big Easy and worn the black and gold. These are the top 10 to have done it.
The list would be a bit different if a couple of these guys could have been kept in New Orleans.
