My Take
Taysom Hill is one of my favourite kinds of athletes: the one who refuses to be boxed in. A star quarterback at BYU, he was cut by the Packers at final roster decisions in 2017, signed quickly with the Saints, and reinvented himself as a do-everything tight end who can run, throw, block and catch. In a sport built on rigid specialisation, choosing to stay a Swiss Army knife takes real nerve. The undrafted, scrap-your-way-in arc is exactly the story I root for, and Hill's versatility makes him genuinely unique to watch.
Overview
Taysom Shawn Hill (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional football tight end. He played college football for the BYU Cougars as a quarterback and signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2017. Hill was released during final roster cuts and signed with the Saints shortly afterwards.
