Morning links: Saints explore Taysom Hill's past; Scott Padgett vs. referee

Quarterback Taysom Hill has turned into a valuable multi-purpose player for the New Orleans Saints.

Because of the athlete’s versatility in being able to pass, run, block, tackle, block punts, assist quarterback Drew Brees and help the playoff-bound team win in a variety of ways, the former BYU star has become a popular player in New Orleans.

The Saints and their fans like him so much that the organization sent a crew to his hometown of Pocatello, Idaho, to do a feature on Hill’s family and childhood stomping grounds. The team website currently features a photo essay about Hill with 31 photos and descriptions about where Hill grew up.
