Losing a big brother is the latest in a long line of emotional challenges for Taysom Hill. Tough circumstances in recent years have made Hill into a man of extreme patience, understanding and tested faith, if not storied perseverance.
Last Friday during BYU’s Pro Day in the indoor practice facility on campus, Hill was hanging around with former NFL players Chad Lewis and Jason Buck, smiling, chatting it up and taking it all in, saluting his teammates as they lifted, ran and jumped. Then he learned his big brother Dexter, six years his elder, passed away suddenly at home in Pocatello, Idaho.
