NFL analyst Brian Baldinger highlighted Taysom Hill’s expanded roles with the Saints: Fullback, halfback, tailback, and playmaker

NFL analyst Brian Baldinger highlighted Taysom Hill’s expanded roles with the New Orleans Saints, rattling off all the different positions he saw Hill line up at in Sunday’s preseason game with the San Francisco 49ers.

Fullback. Halfback. Tailback. Hill has also taken snaps from the slot, inline at tight end, and out wide as a receiver this summer, though his reps at quarterback have diminished with Klint Kubiak running the offense. But at the end of the day the best way to describe Hill’s position may be playmaker.

He blocks for his teammates, he catches passes, and he runs for first downs and touchdowns. Fantasy football nerds may call him a vulture stealing scores from players in their lineups but Hill is popular among those who know ball. He’s well-liked in the Saints locker room because his peers have seen him put in the work. Coaches like Jim Mora appreciate him for his willingness to try so many different things and his ability to do them well. Saints fans are fortunate to be able to cheer him on each week.
