METAIRIE, La. -- What a week this has been for the New Orleans Saints’ Taysom Hill.
He became a father for the first time. He had his 30th birthday. And he gets to spend every day on the practice field focusing on his favorite position: quarterback.
Come Sept. 13, Hill will go back to his day job as one of the NFL’s more fascinating playmakers. When the Saints kick off their season against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he'll pick up where he left off in January’s overtime playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings -- when he had the best game of his NFL career with a 50-yard pass, four runs for 50 yards and two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown.
