How Does Taysom Hill Fit Into This Offseason?

Thumbing through the news recently one might get the sense that Taysom Hill is lodged right between Tom Brady and the reanimated shoulder of Joe Montana. Overnight, he has gone from passer/tight end/special teams multi-tool with six passing attempts in 2019 (three of them complete) to a quarterback capable of piloting his own franchise. Saints coach Sean Payton has compared Hill to Steve Young and said in a recent interview with NBC Sports that it’s not outside the realm of possibility that, should the Saints slap a first-round tender on Hill, a team would match. Mike Westhoff, the team’s special teams consultant, says Hill throws a better ball than Lamar Jackson.
