PROVO, Utah — Watching Taysom Hill on one of the first days of BYU's fall practice, you'd think he was a sure-shot NFL quarterback prospect. His arm looks lively, and his 6'2", 230-pound, linebacker-like frame shows no signs of limitations or wear as it glides across the field.
You'd never guess the reality. This is not your typical student-athlete. This is a 26-year-old married man coming off his third season-ending injury in four years.
Hill's season ended in 2012 with a left knee injury, in 2014 with a broken left leg and last season with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, suffered in the first half of his team's first game.
