SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill hurdled a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive player during a big run on Sunday Night Football.
The Bucs hosted the Saints on Sunday, November 8
During the early part of the second quarter, Hill, who had caught a 21-yard pass from Drew Brees, took over at quarterback. The former BYU signal-caller snapped the ball, surveyed the field, and took off running from the pocket.
As he flew up the field, Hill leaped over a Tampa Bay defender that attempted to tackle the him.
