Taysom Hill In Contention For Starting Role
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in contention for the starting role this season after Drew Brees retired in the offseason. Hill will compete with Jameis Winston. The 30-year-old has played three seasons with the Saints and has famously been employed as a "jack of all trades" player who can play various positions. Last season, Hill finished with 928 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, two picks, 87 rushes for 457 yards and eight rush touchdowns, along with eight receptions for 98 yards and a score on 12 targets in 16 games. Clearly, Hill is talented enough to play many different roles but whether he can be a successful starting QB throughout a full season remains to be seen. If he does end up being the starter, he would be in the low-end QB2 tier.
