I think he's one of three TE's that have a lock on the position. He's willing and able to contribute to special teams, as well, and can line up at h-back. But, I guess you could say he was the odd man out as a primary passing target.

I wouldn't be surprised if James fails makes the cut.

As far as Hill goes, it is my understanding he is listed as a TE but really doesn't factor into how many they will keep at the position. I think at this point in Hill's career, he will continue playing some special teams and lining up in the H-Back position doing mostly running. It seems like that nasty concussion he had a couple years ago pretty much ended the TE experiment for him.

I would think that playing h-back and special teams would be just as, if not more, likely to result in a concussion. I guess we'll see soon how much work he'll be getting at TE. I also believe this year is the first time the Saints official roster listing actually has him listed as a TE rather than a QB coming into the OTA's.

TH is a Swiss Army knife. He can play many positions. That frees up backup roles for others. He can play qb, rb, fb, te and wr if needed. He’s not tied down to just te.

I agree that he can play all these positions. But that doesn’t mean he’s a star at any of these positions. His key is is versatility and what he makes the D respond to. But he’s the 4 th best QB, TE, RB, and WR on the team if he’s lined up at the position IMO.

Krull's been getting some positive press of late... we may be set finally at TE.

They all look good in shorts ;).

First off Hill is badass. Second, he’s totally ****in awesome. And lastly, Taysom Hill’s mother is a hot model who had an affair with Chuck Norris. He’s Chuck Norris’ baby!!!
