Before he ever saw the field as a quarterback, Taysom Hill had already impacted the New Orleans Saints' 36-7 preseason win against the Los Angeles Chargers in a couple different ways.
There was the fourth down he converted when the Saints called his number on a fake punt. He was lined up as the upback and took a direct snap for 5 yards, keeping alive a drive that eventually resulted in a New Orleans touchdown.
Then there was the ensuing kickoff, when Hill blazed his way down the field and dropped return man Desmond King shy of the 20-yard line.
