Dalton Hilliard, the New Orleans Saints 2nd round pick of the 1986 draft, carries against the Houston Oilers during the preseason of his rookie season. Hilliard had a modestly productive year his first season as a Saint. 425 yards on the ground and 107 yards receiving he accounted for 5 touchdowns. He remained with the Saints until 1993. When he did retire he left as the Saints #2 All-Time leading rusher behind the great George Rodgers. As of today, he is still #4 on the Team’s All-Time Career Rushing Yards list. His 18 touchdowns of the 1989 season led the league that year and is still a franchise record.
