Ranking the all-time best running back greats in New Orleans Saints history

Reuben Mayes' career ended WAYYYYYY too short. Can't vote him #1 because his short career doesn't put him in the "history" category.

It was between Deuce and Dalton Hilliard. But Deuce was a workhorse through some pretty lean years with the team. We had a consistent back and running game, and he was pure athlete.

What he said. Reuben was a stud I was so depressed when Hilliard took over- even though I swear PT is the second coming of Hilliard - they are so similar.
