NFL locals: Taysom Hill shows off offensive and special teams versatility in Saints win; Marcus Kemp, Hunter Sharp score touchdowns

Taysom Hill’s versatility was on full display for the New Orleans Saints in their 36-7 preseason win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday.

The former BYU quarterback made plays in several different ways, leading the Saints to touchdown drives on his two second-half possessions — not including a pair of kneel downs to end the game — while also converting a fake punt in the first half and scoring on a two-point conversion.

He completed 7 of 8 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown for a QB rating of 140.6, while also rushing for a team-high 35 yards on six carries and another score one week after turning the ball over four times in his first preseason start.
