It’s been a longtime since Taysom Hill first graced the field for the New Orleans Saints as a kick returner during the 2017 season. What was once a hilarious anecdote about the former BYU quarterback playing special teams for the Saints turned into a cult following over the next few seasons, with Hill doing everything from blocking punts to catching touchdowns as the Saints went on their quest to get Drew Brees one last Super Bowl title, with Hill happy to do whatever was asked of him.
In 2020, however, Hill was asked something bigger than he was used to, as when Drew Brees went down against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, Taysom Hill was asked to take the reigns at quarterback starting with the Week 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
