With only five picks in this year’s NFL Draft, coach Sean Payton and GM George Paton are looking for a value addition in the later rounds. Ideally, it’s a guy who checks multiple boxes.
Enter Jack Colletto, the Paul Hornung Award winner for the most versatile player in major college football — and perhaps the NFL’s next Taysom Hill.
At Oregon State, Colletto played quarterback, Wildcat QB, fullback, linebacker, receiver and also was the Beavers’ top special teams player. It’s a skillset that’s eerily similar to Hill, the utility player who once played a key role on Payton’s teams in New Orleans.
