Currently, the New Orleans Saints are the NFL’s only team that has three players with more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
It’s a monumental feat, but one that has occurred with some regularity under Coach Sean Payton.
This season, running backs Mark Ingram (1,420 total, on 1,045 rushing and 375 receiving) and Alvin Kamara (1,336 total, on 652 rushing and 684 receiving) and receiver Michael Thomas (1,085 receiving) join a list for the Saints that includes last year’s trio of Ingram (1,362), Thomas (1,137) and receiver Brandin Cooks (1,203); the 2011 combination of running back Darren Sproles (1,313), tight end Jimmy Graham (1,310) and receiver Marques Colston (1,143); and the ’06 collaboration of Colston (1,038) and running backs Deuce McAllister (1,255) and Reggie Bush (1,307) as the triplets to accomplish the feat since Payton took over in ‘06.
