Taysom Hill has earned a shot as the Saints QB2, says Sean Payton

Where does Taysom Hill slot in on the New Orleans Saints depth chart? Last season, he was the third-string quarterback behind Drew Brees and Teddy Bridgewater, playing more often at receiver and tight end (or on special teams) than at his listed position. Even when Brees was held out with an injury to his throwing hand, Hill largely stood by and watched Bridgewater quarterback his way to five wins as a starter.

Now, though, Bridgewater is leading the cross-division Carolina Panthers. And Hill is under contract on a one-year deal, earning $4.64 million on a restricted free agent tender.
