Saints' Taysom Hill named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after blocked punt vs. Buccaneers
Taysom Hill’s blocked punt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers provided the New Orleans Saints with an emotional boost that helped lead to 25 unanswered points in the second half.
Apparently, the play was also the special teams highlight of the week in the NFC. The NFC announced Wednesday that Hill was the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 14. Hill blocked a punt by Bryan Anger mid-way through the third quarter. The Saints trailed 14-3 at the time of Hill’s block, but they scored their first touchdown on the ensuing drive and went on to win 28-14. Coach Sean Payton said Hill’s block came on a standard punt return formation as opposed to a call with extra blitzers. Hill just made a great individual play to race through the line and block the kick. NOLA | |

When was the last time a 3rd string QB won Spec Team player of the week.
My initial thought is None. |

Taysom's blocked punt changed the entire complexion and energy on the outcome of the game. Put him at QB on read option, FB, split out wide, kick return or punt coverage and he's a potential game changer. That's big time.
Kind of reminds me of Joshua Cribbs. |
