Taysom Hill already has two difficult roles to play as a special-teams maven and a developing quarterback. But Hill's athleticism suggests he can do even more, and the Saints haven't crossed out the possibility. Hill's athleticism and running ability could earn him a role on the offense. "We've talked before about, he's big and he's athletic, so there are a lot of things he can do," Payton said. "He's smart. The key is coming up with that balance as he develops as a quarterback." When Hill was the No. 3 quarterback for the Saints last season, he took all of his snaps on the scout team, which meant that he entered the offseason without ever really having taken a snap in the New Orleans offense. New Orleans could still use Hill in an offensive role; it just likely would be more of a specialty than permanent. "It's hard to develop as a quarterback if you're getting special-teams snaps while you're working as a tight end or whatever," Payton said. "It's got to be game-specific. He does provide some flexibility." |

Try him at RB. He could be Christian McCaffery 6.0.

Hill is about the same speed but taller and heavier by about 30 lbs. Not sure about his catching but I'm sure it's not that shabby. Hill could totally be a RB and a damn good one if he wanted. |

Re: Saints have talked about using Taysom Hill at offensive positions other than quarterback
If he made a transition to anything it should be safety. He’s actually a pretty good tackler and would probably make a decent center fielder. I don’t see him having the skill set for any other position on offense. He isn’t quick twitch enough for running back. I don’t believe he can run the route tree...and he has small hands...so I don’t see him working out at WR. Defense would be his best transition, but keep him at Quarterback and just continue to monitor his progress while he does his thing on special teams.

What's great is teams have to account for him on punts on 4th and short at all times. Going to help our return game some. Hope we try another on the the right side just to screw with teams this week.

A modern day Guido Merkens.

Some plays at WR/RB to have him do some of the things Antwaan Randle El did.

This tells me that Savage is the clip board holder this year. You don't risk your back up QB on special teams and gimmick plays if you want to protect the future face of the franchise.

If only we were a college team, we maybe could develop him into something special. It's just so hard developing freak athletes at the pro level. We got kind of lucky with Jimmy Graham.

Taysom aka The Specialist.

Re: Saints have talked about using Taysom Hill at offensive positions other than quarterback
any Guido Merkens refrences... shows your age, lol.

Re: Saints have talked about using Taysom Hill at offensive positions other than quarterback
The problem with using Hill in special packages... is that they have him on the roster as 3rd QB. If he comes in to the QB position for just one snap then Bree's can't come back in at all.
One thing for sure Hill will make the roster. |
