BYU football: Three Taysom Hill oddities

For former BYU football megastar Taysom Hill, 2017 must’ve been insane. It began with a head-turning Pro Day and then ended with a playoff berth with the New Orleans Saints.

Not too shabby for a player that struggled with injuries throughout his career in Provo.

Now a special teams ace for the Saints, the once-dubbed ‘Thorterback’ is turning into a fan favorite in New Orleans for his freakish athleticism.

But did you know…

Taysom Hill finished with more solo tackles than Bronson Kaufusi?

Hill, after beginning the season with the Green Bay Packers as a quarterback, became a special teamer for the Saints.
