In 2016, the New Orleans Saints’ Running Backs had a spectacular year as a group. Mark Ingram finished with a career-high 1,043 rushing yards for the season, as the first Saints Running Back to pass the 1,000-yard mark since Deuce McAllister. His primary back-up, Tim Hightower, tacked on another 748 yards from scrimmage and 5 touchdowns. The two other Running Backs on the Saints roster, Travaris Cadet and Daniel Lasco, contributed minimally to the Saints offense in 2016 (with both seeing time on Special Teams).
