Taysom Hill

Taysom Shawn Hill (born August 23, 1990) is an American football quarterback and utility player for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the BYU Cougars.

Although listed as a backup quarterback on the official Saints depth chart, Hill has played in four offensive skill positions and on both sides of the ball on special teams, including as the team's primary gunner on punt return, and has blocked multiple punts in his career. Such atypical utilization of a quarterback has earned him a reputation as one of the NFL's most versatile players and the nickname "The Human Swiss Army knife" by Saints' media. In 2020, he saw his first action as a starting quarterback, filling in for four games for an injured Drew Brees, and going 3-1 as a starter.
