It might be one of the biggest boner moves of Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the Green Bay Packers. After a stellar 2017 preseason, he released quarterback Taysom Hill, an undrafted free agent out of BYU.
The idea was the Packers would sneak him onto the practice squad after he cleared waivers. Hill did not clear waivers. He was claimed by the New Orleans Saints.
He is currently their third quarterback, but he’s so much more. The Saints put Hill on special teams last season, where he immediately became one of their best gunners.
