Taysom Hill

When asked about playing position, Taysom Hill says simply, “Yes.”

The nominal tight end can play any position except linebacker (he's close in build, but it's inconvenient to jersey the right number during the game) or kicker-punter. In half of the "Saints" games, you might miss his appearances on the field altogether. But sometimes there are those where he becomes a major star.

The one-actor theater began in the first quarter when there was a series of 3 consecutive draws like this:

2-and-5 at the CLV-31. Taysom Hill throws a pass to receiver Kevin Austin for 18 yards.

1-and-10 at the CLV-13. Taysom Hill catches a pass from quarterback Derek Carr for 3 yards

2-and-7 at the CLV-10. Taysom Hill carries the ball 10 yards for a touchdown

Hill's final stats against "Cleveland": 2 pass attempts, 1 accurate pass for 18 yards, 1 interception, 7 carry attempts for 138 yards, 3 carry touchdowns, 8 receptions for 50 yards, 1 fumble lost, 1 kickoff return for 42 yards, 11 special teams shenanigans.

Have you heard of dual-threat quarterbacks? Taysom Hill doesn't understand what's so threatening about them.
