The New Orleans Saints offense is clicking on all cylinders versus the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football in Week 15. Even utility man/quarterback Taysom Hill has managed to make his presence heavily felt once again.
Hill has been quite a Swiss Army Knife for the Saints thanks to his versatile skill set in all facets of the game. It also appears he is emerging as a bonafide red zone option in the 2019 NFL season.
As NFL Update pointed out, Hill's five touchdowns are more than some fairly notable names. Davante Adams, Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Odell Beckham Jr. have not even hit that total in 2019.
The comparison is hardly a knock on the other names on this list since some have had legitimate reasons for their underwhelming touchdown totals in 2019. Instead, it is indicative of head coach Sean Payton's ability to utilize every weapon at his disposal to give the offense an advantage; there is no question that it has paid huge dividends.
Hill came into the league as a quarterback. However, it was not long before Payton started plugging him at other positions on offense and special teams. His role has only increased with each year that he manages to garner more trust in the passing game.
Hill will likely never become the long-term option under center unless it is a wildcat formation. Regardless, it is safe to say that he has still managed to establish himself as a dangerous weapon on offense. He still has two games left to add to his career year.
