Saints tight end Josh Hill's playoff performance was best 2-game stretch of career

Josh Hill has been an important member of the New Orleans Saints offense the past few years even if his statistical contributions don't show it.

In five seasons with the Saints, Hill's career-high totals for a season were 16 catches (2015 and 2017), 176 yards (2014) and five touchdowns (2014). With fellow tight ends Jimmy Graham, Benjamin Watson and Coby Fleener commanding more passes from Drew Brees, Hill's targets have been inconsistent, but his blocking ability has helped him maintain a significant role.

In this year's playoffs, though, Hill was a key weapon for Brees.
