Former BYU quarterback Taysom Hill is well into his first offseason with the New Orleans Saints, as the team is in its third session of OTAs this week.

ESPN's Mike Triplett tackled the topic — one that's circulated around the rumor mill several times since late last fall — of whether the dual-threat Hill could be the heir to current Saints starting quarterback Drew Brees, a 17-year veteran with a Super Bowl MVP and 11 Pro Bowl honors to his name.
