SALT LAKE CITY — Former BYU quarterback Taysom Hill became known last season around the NFL for his ability to contribute in a variety of ways for the New Orleans Saints.
It took Hill almost his entire rookie season before seeing the field on special teams in December. In his second year, though, Saints coach Sean Payton kept drawing up ways to get Hill, his third quarterback behind starter Drew Brees and backup Teddy Bridgewater, on the field.
