Former BYU quarterback Taysom Hill had to wait awhile to make his NFL debut in Green Bay’s 24-9 preseason win over Philadelphia on Thursday night.

He made it worth the wait.

Hill guided a late touchdown drive to end the scoring, hitting Michael Clark for a 7-yard touchdown pass on a back shoulder throw with nine seconds remaining. That capped an eight-play, 82-yard drive that took 2:55 off the clock and harkened back to his days as a Cougar.
