George Rodgers remains #1 on the Top 10 All-Time Saints Leaders – Most Rushing Attempts in a Season list and it looks like that he will remain there for quite awhile. Rodgers set the team record his rookie year in 1981 after being the first pick in the 1981 draft by Bum Phillips. He is also #8 on the list with his 256 attempts in the 1983 season. Deuce McAllister hols d the #2 spot (351 attempts in 2003) as well as #4 and #7. Ricky Williams hols the #5, #9 and #10 spots. With the pass-first offense of Sean Payton and Drew Brees don’t look for mush to change in this category.
