Saints Top 25 All-Time Longest Runs From Scrimmage (20 Viewers)

Just here to point out how much of a unit Heyward was. One of the reasons I became a Saints fan during the dome patrol era.

Hokie 62 yards. Lord. Did they tell the defense he was "special" beforehand?

Amazing that Rickey Williams is not on that list. Nice drafting, Ditka.

So many power backs and fullbacks on the list. Once they get going, it may be that defensive players start making business decisions,

George Rogers was an absolute beast!

That must have burned up a quarter and a half. RIP Hokie.

George Rogers was an absolute beast!

Eh, for about three seasons. Older fans like me will remember he had some of the same addiction issues Muncie had. Turned himself around in enough time to have more of a life after football than Muncie did.

Pretty telling story that Reggie Bush, the guy with all the greatest physical tools a RB could ever have, couldn't make this list. Yet some RB's he played with, and for the same coach could make the list.

Most of Reggie's memorable plays were nearer the red zone (i.e. his long leap for a TD vs. Miami in '09) or were pass receptions. The two longest plays from scrimmage I remember from his best games as a Saint were pass receptions, the long one for a TD in '06 vs. Dallas and another long one the same year, vs. the 49ers, but wasn't a touchdown.

Don’t forget that wheel route vs the Bears in the playoffs.

Surprisingly no sign of Reggie Bush in the top 25. I thought he'd have at least one.

 

[mtq79]

75 yard TD vs SF


72 yards vs Carolina (may have been recorded on a potato)


70 yards vs Washington 1:21 mark (again, no TD... interesting that 2 of his longest runs weren't scores....)
