What can’t Taysom Hill do? The New Orleans Saints reserve quarterback has turned into a competent passer, but he’s done his best work as a short-yardage runner, ace on special teams, and as a receiver. That was highlighted during Sunday’s game with the Tennessee Titans, when he literally did it all on offense, including a huge 23-yard gain through the air.
But one of his teammates is concerned about Hill’s growing skills set. While he didn’t necessarily ask Hill to back off, Pro Bowl kicker Wil Lutz politely asked Hill to, “Please don’t let the coaches see you kick field goals” after their latest win. While Lutz is extremely good at what he does, the last thing he wants is some competition.
The fact that Saints players are comfortable joking with each other like this is hilarious, and it speaks to the positive locker room chemistry the team has invested in building in recent years. The sky may be the limit for what Hill can do in the NFL, but if Lutz gets this way, we already know the extent of his skills.
