Former BYU linebacker Fred Warner, who is expected to be taken in the upcoming 2018 NFL draft, isn't surprised by Taysom Hill's success with the New Orleans Saints as a rookie. Warner and Hill were teammates at BYU from 2014-16.
"It's crazy, man," Warner told the Times-Picayune last week at the Senior Bowl. "I already knew he was an athletic freak in college, and he obviously ran a 4.4 at Pro Day. And he's just a big dude; he's just a big, athletic dude. So, the fact that they put him on special teams and that he's excelling doesn't surprise me a whole lot.
