Raiders coach Jon Gruden gives Taysom Hill the ultimate compliment for a football player

SALT LAKE CITY — Las Vegas coach Jon Gruden isn’t quite sure how to prepare for one part of the Raiders’ Monday Night Football opponent.

Or is it two parts? Or three parts? Five parts? Ten parts?

Just put it this way: Gruden is well aware of the versatility of New Orleans Saints’ backup quarterback Taysom Hill.

In fact, Gruden gave the former BYU standout what could be considered the ultimate compliment for a football player. While openly admiring how many different things Hill can do for the Saints, Gruden called him a football player.

“I don’t remember a quarterback that can throw and run read options and then line up at tight end,” Gruden said during his interview leading up to the Raiders-Saints game.
