WATCH: Every NFL Touchdown Scored By Saints QB Taysom Hill

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill entered the 2021 offseason with the biggest opportunity of his NFL career.

Hill will begin his fifth NFL season in September, but this year will be his first chance to be a starting quarterback in the league.

After Drew Brees announced his retirement following the Saints’ disappointing playoff exit in January, Hill became one of the prime candidates to take over New Orleans’ offense from the future hall of famer.

During the Saints’ upcoming training game and preseason, Hill will battle former Tampa Bay Buccaneers starter Jameis Winston.

With the former BYU star’s potential starting job on the horizon, we wanted to take a look back at each of the touchdowns Hill has scored throughout his first few seasons.

While some of Hill’s touchdowns have come on the ground, others have arrived through the air. He scored his first TD during his second year in the league. Last season, Hill started for the first time and aired out his first NFL touchdown pass.

Here are each of Hill’s touchdowns scored during his NFL career:
