GREEN BAY – The road to the NFL has not been an easy one for Taysom Hill, with countless detours often standing in the way of the Packers rookie quarterback and his goals.
Hill sustained four season-ending injuries during his five years at Brigham Young University, limiting his opportunities and curtailing exposure to NFL teams during the pre-draft process.
However, Green Bay’s personnel department saw something it liked in Hill and the 27-year-old repaid the Packers for their faith with an overwhelmingly productive preseason.
Hill continued to impress during Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams, effectively guiding the Packers’ offense during two second-half scoring drives to help seal a 24-10 victory at Lambeau Field.
