Some New Orleans Saints players stood out more than others, earning recognition as the Team MVP, Breakout Player of the Year, and more.

Breakout Player: QB Taysom Hill

Hill’s utilization in 2018 was limited to special teams play, and a few gimmick plays on offense to throw off opposing defenses. With a lack of offensive playmakers in 2019, Hill saw an expanded role that featured him often as a receiver. Hill was able to record a rushing touchdown and caught an additional seven touchdowns (including the playoffs). Those seven touchdown catches gave him more scores than the likes of Julian Edelman, Zach Ertz, and Julio Jones. Hill’s production as a third-string quarterback was unexpected and arguably ground-breaking. His restricted free agency will be worth keeping an eye on this offseason.
