I’ll never forget the look Taysom Hill had in his eye last December when I tracked him down in the Saints’ locker room and, among other things, asked him if he considered his long-term NFL future to still be at quarterback.
Never mind the fact Hill had thrown 13 career NFL passes to that point. Or that he had been thriving in an expanded Kordell Stewart-y “Slash” role for one of the NFL’s best teams. Or that he was already 29 years old at that point.
So resolute was Hill in his ability to play the NFL’s premium position that he didn’t even let me finish the question.
