Column: Saints' Taysom Hill is a do-it-all quarterback still perfecting his game

He’s listed as the third-string quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, but no simple label defines the do-it-all Taysom Hill.as his agenda during a typical training camp practice, when he zigzags from position group to position group, throwing passes here, catching them there, variously lining up at quarterback, tight end and running back. For good measure, he’s right in the mix on the field goal-block team.

“Taysom is a quarterback who happens to be an incredible athlete, and therefore his strength and his skill set and his smarts and his toughness can be used in other areas as well,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said last week after a joint practice with the Chargers. “But I don’t think there are a lot of Taysom Hills out there.”Other teams are sure looking for one.

According to Saints Wire, Hill lined up in at least seven different positions last season, and his snaps in games broke down thus: quarterback , tight end , wide receiver , slot receiver , halfback/fullback , kickoff coverage/return , punt coverage/return , field goal block .Advertisement Because of their superior record, the Saints were 11th in line to claim Hill, but the other 10 teams ahead of them — including quarterback-needy Cleveland and Buffalo — passed on him.
