The Saints’ breakout third-string QB is doing everything to help but throw

The third quarterback on the depth chart does a little bit of everything except play quarterback for the Saints.

Imagine Tim Tebow didn’t have an ego that kept him from playing anything but quarterback. And imagine Tebow didn’t have a delusional fanbase convinced he deserved to be a starting quarterback in the NFL despite completing fewer than half his passes.

Behold, Taysom Hill.

The New Orleans Saints claimed Hill off waivers before the 2017 season when he didn’t make the Green Bay Packers’ final roster. He was an undrafted quarterback who was 95th out of 100 quarterbacks in passer rating during his senior year at BYU. It wasn’t his shaky abilities as a passer that landed him in the NFL — it was everything else he could bring to the table.

He had 32 rushing touchdowns during his collegiate career and the Saints are putting those unique skills to good use:

Hill’s just a flat out good running back

If the Saints’ third-string quarterback made a full-time transition to running back, he’d probably be a perfect fit. Hill is 6’2, 221 pounds and reportedly ran a 4.46 in the 40-yard dash at his pro day with a 38.5-inch vertical. For comparison, Adrian Peterson is 6’1, 220 pounds and ran a 4.41 at the 2007 NFL Combine with a 38.5-inch vertical.

That doesn’t mean Hill’s the second coming of Peterson, but it does give some perspective that explains why he’s been so hard for defenses to tackle. He has the speed to beat teams to the edge:

He has the power to run through arm tackles:

When Taysom Hill is in the game, you should know the zone read is coming and that he will likely keep it no matter what. And that he can run over defenders like Landon Collins. Like the arc block by the TE here. pic.twitter.com/f3kW4zxBHi

And when you combine that size and speed, he eats up yardage in a hurry:

Six games into the Saints’ 5-1 season, Hill has 125 rushing yards on only 18 carries. His 6.9 yards per carry is one of the best marks in the NFL, but it’s his throwing ability that makes it all work.

Hill throws just well enough to be a nightmare

What if one of the NFL’s many dangerous running backs was a threat to throw every time he had the ball in his hands? It’s partly why Ronnie Brown’s Wildcat offense was unstoppable for about a month early in the Dolphins’ 2008 season.

In the case of Hill, it makes him a rusher that the defense has to be careful about fully committing to stop. It’s the biggest reason he’s been so efficient on the ground, even if he’s only attempted two passes so far in 2018. His only completion was on a fake punt:

It's a fake! Taysom Hill gets it done through the air! #NOvsNYG pic.twitter.com/zUSf1Fpxlg

— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) September 30, 2018

He showed what he can do as a passer in preseason with 36 completions on 49 attempts for 365 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. But it makes sense why the Saints traded for Teddy Bridgewater to be the backup and possible starter of the future in New Orleans. There just isn’t much faith in running an offense with Hill at quarterback full time.

But he can throw well enough to scare teams and when that is coupled with his rushing ability, it makes him difficult to deal with.

Just putting him on the field makes an impact now

He can run, he can throw, and he can even block.

Ravens will get a taste of their medicine in terms of facing an athletic back-up QB when the Saints bring in Taysom Hill (7) into the game. He's returned 7 kicks & in their RZ packages he's a threat to run it or throw it. They'll even use him as a blocker. pic.twitter.com/G1ztF80Kbj

With Hill bringing so many different skills to the table, he has to be accounted for by the defense. The Saints only put him on the field for about 10 percent of their offensive snaps and it draws the attention of defenders, even if he’s just a decoy.

Just faking a jet sweep to Hill in a Week 5 game sucked up a Washington cornerback and left Tre’Quan Smith open for a 35-yard touchdown.

What are the limits for Hill? Pretty much anything except kicking the ball:

Taysom Hill was asked what's the most fun position to play for the #Saints. Kick returner, quarterback, running back, blocker, upback on punts. "I can't single out one thing. Just being on the field with these guys is a unique bond, and I love that." @FOX8NOLA #BYU pic.twitter.com/vE8UnhTB5E

— Garland Gillen (@garlandgillen) October 1, 2018

There are many reasons the Saints are 5-1. Drew Brees is still cooking defenses, the defense shook off a slow start, and the offense is loaded with weapons like Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, and Mark Ingram. But the team’s most unique piece is its third-string quarterback and he’s being used to perfection.

Alvin Kamara’s touchdown run into the tunnel was even cooler than you realize

There’s a tradition here.

In a fair and just world, Alvin Kamara would be in the early conversation for NFL MVP.

All he did this week was set career highs with three rushing touchdowns and 134 rushing yards in Saints’ 33-18 win against the Giants this week. But it’s his last touchdown, a 49-yard run to the right side that we need to talk about today.

Here’s another look at the play.

KAMARA! 3 TDs. Incredible.#GoSaints #NOvsNYG pic.twitter.com/qJJ79h4CKJ

— NFL (@NFL) September 30, 2018

The Giants scored on the drive before this one to pull within eight points with just under four minutes left in regulation. Six plays later, Eli Manning and Co. were buried, on their way to loss number three.

Kamara’s gone before the defense even realizes it. There’s a blur of lead blockers and BLOOP out pops Kamara on his way to the end zone, easily breaking free from the one guy who had a chance to tackle him.

But he does not stop in the end zone. He goes right into the tunnel and into the locker room, done for the day. And really, what else was left for him to do? He racked up 102 yards in the second half and scored all three of his touchdowns to power the Saints’ win.

True to form, this gave people something to be mad about online ... like literally everything else no matter how innocuous it may be. The man has no time for hate though, and this was his high road response.

— Alvin Kamara (@A_kamara6) October 1, 2018

Kamara’s run into the tunnel needs a little context, because it’s a pretty time-honored tradition.

Bo Jackson famously did it during his rookie season after a 91-yard touchdown run in Seattle. If you don’t love Bo Jackson, I’m not sure that we can ever be friends.

Running into the tunnel has even more significance against the Giants. In the 1989 NFC Division round game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Giants, Rams receiver Flipper Anderson caught a game-winning, 30-yard touchdown pass in overtime. He kept right on going into the tunnel and to the locker room too.

I haven’t seen Kamara directly acknowledging Bo or Flipper Anderson’s tunnel runs. He was too busy praising his teammates after Sunday’s win.

Give this man the award, all of the awards.
