'We’ve all seen the way he lives his life': Taysom Hill congratulates Drew Brees on breaking NFL career passing yards record

Taysom Hill had a front-row seat to history Monday night.

The former BYU quarterback watched as teammate and mentor Drew Brees broke the NFL’s career passing yards record as the New Orleans Saints beat the Washington Redskins 43-19.

Hill, who’s been used on offense for the Saints this year as a quarterback, wide receiver and even running back while also being a special teams ace, congratulated Brees for the achievement Tuesday on social media.

“Grateful for the chance I have to be mentored by a man who is so committed to his team, his family, and his faith,” Hill wrote on Instagram.
