SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Current New Orleans Saints backup quarterback and former BYU star Taysom Hill made social media shockwaves again this week. As he has done all season, he put his amazing versatility on display, this time with a clean punt block against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hill looked like a seasoned defensive pro and not a backup quarterback as he broke through the line and blocked the punt.
