We need to talk about what Taysom Hill is.

Just about half of the NFL has been described as searching for a “Taysom Hill-type” or “their own Taysom Hill.” Sometimes, this label is used on players seeking a path similar to Hill’s—late-round or undrafted college quarterbacks who hope to catch on with NFL rosters by displaying positional versatility.

Good find, Oak! I'd give a "LOVE" on that one if I could. That perfectly defines Hill's value. Great article.
