During the introductory press conference of Seattle Seahawks offensive, Klint Kubiak, he was asked about his success in short-yarding situations as OC of Saint-Orleans Saints last season.
ESPN analyst says the Seahawks must add a QB2 – here are the options
Kubiak immediately underlined the unique Taysom hill.
“We had a guy who came to mind to Taysom Hill who was a weapon with which I could show creativity,” said Kubiak.
Hill, a former quarter-Arrière out of competition in Byu, looks like no other NFL player. It is officially listed as a tight end, but in reality, it is a 6 -feet 2 inch and 211 pound army knife that is a bit of everything – take pictures in quarter, a tight end, a wide receiver , a rear, a ball carrier and even on special teams.

During his eight -year NFL career with the saints, Hill accumulated 2,437 yards on the ground, 2,369 yards per pass, 943 reception yards and 55 affected in total. According to DisplayHe is the only player since the merger of the 1970 NFL with at least 2,000 career yards in career, 2,000 career yards and 900 career yards.
And it could very well be on the market for free agents during the offseason.
In honor of his birthday, the Taysom Hill experience.

Hill has another year on his $ 40 million contract over four years with New Orleans, but he is expected to wear a salary ceiling of almost $ 18 million for 2025, according to On the cap. And the saints have by far the worst salary situation of the league, ensuring $ 47.2 million in red.
This makes the 34 -year -old hill a solid candidate of CAP victim. If the saints were to release it with a designation after June 1, they could generate $ 10 million in ceiling space.
“If he is released, he would be a name, I would be very interested in Seattle”, the former quarter of the NFL BROCK HUARD said in the Blue 88 on Friday on BROCK AND SALK seattle sports segment.
“ There are not many hills Taysom ‘
Hill, from Pocatello, Idaho, was limited to only eight games last season due to a torn LCA.
But before hurting himself, Hill rushed to 278 yards and six affected at an average of 7.1 yards per race, and transported 23 receptions for 187 yards. According to Professional football focusHe took 91 snaps at the wide receiver, 43 at the tight end, 41 at the rear, 26 at the quarter-Arrière and 24 at the ball carrier. He also had 73 snaps on special teams.
During his last two complete seasons, he has totaled 652 melee yards in 2022 and 692 melee yards in 2023.
And as Kubiak alluded, Hill is particularly useful in short -term situations and to help an offense to stay on time. Hill has a success rate of 60.2% in career, which ranks second among all players between 2018 and 2024 which have at least 400 races above this period, by Stathead. (A successful rush is defined as a winner 40% of the footage required first, 60% in the second drop and 100% on the third and fourth stockings.)
“Having a guy with this versatility – this position of Joker who can do so much and do them well,” said Huard, amazing Hill’s skills.

If Hill is released, Huard thinks there will be great competition for the offensive weapon to do everything. One of these teams could be the Broncos de Denver and their head coach Sean Payton, who was Hill’s head coach for his first five seasons in New Orleans.
“I’m going to tell you that it won’t be just on the Seattle market,” said Huard. “It was on the Denver market because Sean Payton led him to New Orleans.
“There are not many Taysom hills.”
