Among modern NFL players, Taysom Hill stands alone in terms of the all-around performances he puts on week in, week out.
So it's only fitting that his record-breaking performance this season is enshrined at the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Hill's cleats, jersey and play-call wristband from the Saints' Week 9 win over the Chicago Bears is now officially on display at the Hall of Fame, commemorating his achievement of becoming the first player in modern NFL history to log at least 25 rushing touchdowns, 10 passing touchdowns and 10 receiving touchdowns. Hall of Famer and former MVP Frank Gifford is the only other player to hit those marks in league history.
“That becomes a product of A. The skillset and B. the willingness to do whatever it takes to get on the field and to contribute," GM Mickey Loomis said after the win over the Bears. "And look, Taysom gets an A-plus in both those categories. He’s got a tremendous skillset and then he’s got a tremendous mental ability to contribute in all these areas and a willingness to do it.”

Hill officially hit the mark with a receiving touchdown from Derek Carr in the first half of the 24-17 victory. For good measure he also threw a touchdown to TE Juwan Johnson in the second half.
Only five players in the history of the NFL have logged double-digit rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns, a group that includes Hill and Gifford, along with Hall of Famers Jimmy Conzelman, Red Grange and Charly Trippi.
Hill's gear is on display in the Hall'f "Pro Football Today" gallery.
