Pierre Thomas Poised to Rewrite New Orleans Saints Record Books

"But Thomas, who ranks No. 5 all-time in Saints rushing touchdowns, is about to enter the top five in another category.

Thomas has quickly shot up the franchise leaders’ list this season, entering at No. 8 with 2,974 rushing yards. If he gains 22 yards against the Atlanta Falcons, he’ll pass Rueben Mayes for the No. 4 spot."

Love Pierre Thomas. I honestly think hes one of the most underrated players in the league.

Good for PT. Mayes' career ended too quickly though. He could have been far higher on the list.

Who's #1 Deuce .. Accomplishing this in a crowded backfield is a surprise. Wonder where Ricky williams is on the list.

As bad as the Falcons are against the run, PT should more than triple that 22 yards needed!

Thomas has never been a feature back, so the numbers are impressive
I really can't remember him ever having 20+ carries in a game

I would sit PT for Seattle, and run Ingram and K. Robinson at Atlanta all day.

The most underappreciated running back in the NFL? Probably.

By non-Saints fans I'd agree.

I think all Saints fans know what a stud he is and has been, and have known for a very long time.

I'm just thinking about how he had to fight for that roster spot undrafted against a 4th round pick Antonio Freeman when he came out of Illinois. He's been fighting ever since.
