Saints head coach Sean Payton has had the opportunity to work with two of the only three players in NFL history to gain at least 2,000 all-purpose yards in four straight seasons. On the San Diego State coaching staff in 1992-93, Payton was the running backs coach when Marshall Faulk attended the school ­well before he gained 2,000+ all-purpose yards in four straight seasons from 1998-2001 in the NFL. Then, in New Orleans, Payton coached Darren Sproles to his fourth consecutive season with 2,000+ all-purpose yards (2008-2011). The only other player in NFL history to record 2,000+ all-purpose yards in four straight years is famed Kansas City kick returned Dante Hall (2002-2005).
