My barber, who was on Taysom’s HS team in Idaho, told me a story that they were playing a team with a 4 star receiver who was torching them the entire 1st half. At half time the coach told Taysom he had to move to CB and play man coverage on that receiver, even though Taysom had never played CB before. He completely shut the guy down in the 2nd half and they won the game.
As a BYU fan, it's hard to overstate how devastating each of his injuries were. I remember crying behind the couch after he got injured in 2014 (I was 13). It's been awesome to see him carve out a great career in the NFL after everything he has been through!
All of Cougar Nation is so proud of Hill and what he has accomplished. He continues to represent BYU and his faith in all of the right ways! We Love you Taysom! ❤
You should have mentioned that he is part of the Exclusive 10, 10, 10 club. meaning he has thrown for, caught for, and run for 10 TD's. Only 5 people have ever done that in the NFL, and the last one to do it was 60+ years ago
He has made us very proud!!! He and Drew were spotted sometimes in Pocatello just eating dinner, being chill and awesome. He is a wonderful human being.
I went to school with him in high school at Highland and BYU for college. In high school we used to yell “throw jt to yourself Taysom” 😅 He was also our kicker some games too, he did it all. Great guy
Taysom Hill is just amazing, he had so many setbacks one couldn't blame him if he had just given up and called it a day; but in spite of everything he always pushed through and now it paid off big time.
The Packers put him on the waiver wire and were going to sign him to the practice squad, but the Saints picked him up off waivers before they could do that and Green Bay really regretted that.
@ShawnSmith-x4l nice game yesterday. And their intent was to not carry more than 2 qb's on the 53 man roster, but they wanted to sign him off waivers to the pra time squad.
Unbelievably good. Hall of Fame good. Better than you are thinking of good. Number 1 and meaning it good. Better than the office linebacker good. Better than best good. Best and funest to watch good. White guy who can play any position and I mean any position good. White guy who does play any and all positions in real life good.
Freaking Utah State injured him 3 times! You forgot to mention after beating Texas they fired their defensive coordinator, and by season end Mack Brown was let go. Some pointed to the BYU game as the tipping point with Mack Brown already on the hot seat.
well, he's got 2 years of experience as a starting QB...with a 7-2 record. His biggest criticism is that he can't throw the deep ball. But even his critics must acknowledge (cuz there's film on tape) that below 40 yards, he throws lasers. Plus he can run around after the DE sets the edge and can use his athleticism and speed to bowl over LB's and CB's. I fail to see how and why he got benched by an inferior coach like DA in favor of the red retread and Carr. But, $10 mm per year is tough to walk away from . Rather than keep him at QB2, the Saints decided to draft 2 unproven rookies in hopes for the future, as they were dissatisfied with Hill for whatever reason. Now, he's throwing blocks for Alvin, a player who reportedly complained to coaches that Hill was 'vulturing' his carries and hurting his fantasy value. IMHO,. Hill should finish out the season, maybe on the IR, and have his agent demand a trade to a team that can properly use his versatility, not throwing blocks and running into an 8-man front with a jumbo package, but as a QB, who is a true dual threat run-pass option. Or, finish out the last year of his deal in 2025 and retire with $50 mm in the bank and the lingering question about his QB chances unanswered.
In response to his dreams, he always responds to the question about Qb with the comment about 'understanding the nature of this league', which means likely that his team wouldn't support him for QB versus the likes of Jamies Winston and Alvin Kamara. Find me any QB who would accept the demotion from QB to FB and not quit or demand a trade instantly (Lamar/Herbert/Josh Allen, or Lamar, who cannot take the contact Hill does)
As a BYU fan, it's extremely frustrating how Utah State injured our QBs year after year. I know our main rivalry is with Utah but I can't help but have nearly the same animosity toward Utah State for that reason
Boring! I love Taysom, but you failed to answer the question you presented. You copied and pasted the same talking points every other RUclipsr does when they are looking for views. Tell his life story, and you may or may not get to the question you asked at the very end of the video. I’ll make sure to avoid your videos in the future.

No surprise here!
I honestly wouldn't doubt it. He is so versatile and is so willing to be a team player. Hope his success continues
This is like Chuck Norris lore.
Taysom is approaching Chuck Norris status. Taysom once finished a half marathon running backwards just to see what 2nd place looked like.

The 2014 injury gutted me. We could have gone undefeated that year.
I know, I can't imagine how hard those injuries were on his career. I think it made him a better player. All glory to God!
All of Cougar Nation is so proud of Hill and what he has accomplished. He continues to represent BYU and his faith in all of the right ways! We Love you Taysom! ❤
I couldn't agree more! I love his story and thanks for sharing
Not only that a good man, husband, and father. 🔥👏
No doubt
Hands down my favorite athlete, and a good guy to boot! I was his broadcasting teacher his freshman year and he stood out!
How can you not like this guy?
Hill is an absolute stud
He and Jamaal Williams combined for 440 rushing yards and 4 TDs against number 15 Texas in Provo in 2013. Texas fired their DC right after the game.
and now, he's throwing blocks for Alvin instead of running, passing, or handing off to Jamaal

Wow!
One of the best football players I’ve ever seen
Imagine if all the other NFL players played with the same passion he does. He is a living "blueprint" of a Football Player!
He should play every down
He has made us very proud!!! He and Drew were spotted sometimes in Pocatello just eating dinner, being chill and awesome. He is a wonderful human being.

FREAKING STUD FOOTBALL PLAYER
The Packers put him on the waiver wire and were going to sign him to the practice squad, but the Saints picked him up off waivers before they could do that and Green Bay really regretted that.
No greenbay didn't we didn't bring him in to be a QB at all we didn't bring him in to play multiple positions
@ShawnSmith-x4l nice game yesterday. And their intent was to not carry more than 2 qb's on the 53 man roster, but they wanted to sign him off waivers to the pra time squad.
6:40 is teddy Bridgewater I believe 😂 love the video tho! Tons of cool info
lol, sometimes things slip hahaha.
He is Fantastic!! Love Taysom❤️
Simply a player EVERY SINGLE team would love to have, hands down!!! But the person definitely comes before the player!
I played with Dexter in high school, and his older brother. I wasn’t aware he passed until now. That sucks.
Losing loved ones is always tough. Thanks for being open and sharing
Snake RIver alum here!!
Always Utah state

Where he was getting injured
How different from so many professional football players who are in the news for being arrested!
His college head coach called him our thor-terback.
Would that be Lavell Edwards? He was one of footballs best coaches and was a great guy.
Guys I think taysom hill can play db
Probably could
I think he could play striker, quidditch seeker or be a sumo wrestler if he wants.
White Slash
My two favorite players in the NFL are Taysom Hill and
Kooper Cupp🏈
Sooooo, when it says “in the heart of pocatello idaho it shows a completely random town… not poky! Haha that was funny
That made me laugh too. Should be a shot of the valley and Scout Mountain.
He’s bad Ass❤❤
Unbelievably good. Hall of Fame good. Better than you are thinking of good. Number 1 and meaning it good. Better than the office linebacker good. Better than best good. Best and funest to watch good.

gotta be a HOF, as his jersey already is (for the 10-10-10)
Sorry, that mountain town was not Pocatello. I know the area well.
I noticed the same thing, being from eastern Idaho.
Good enough to play in the nfl for what 10 years now? He should play most downs
Taysom: He throws, he catches, he runs, he does special teams, tackles, and he blocks.
The blocking is why the offense was so good the first 2 games.
Will never know cos he’ll never get his full opportunity
Freaking Utah State injured him 3 times! You forgot to mention after beating Texas they fired their defensive coordinator, and by season end Mack Brown was let go. Some pointed to the BYU game as the tipping point with Mack Brown already on the hot seat.
Just got crapped on cuz he played for byu and was restricted. I’m don’t watch NFL these days.
In Idaho, Pocatello is not a small town. It is one of the biggest cities in Idaho.
Correct. I'm happy to be from Idaho and the intermountain area.
The picture you show of Pocatello is not Pocatello.

Umm, that's not Pocatello
Hey Guy that was teddy Bridgewater not jamie Winston
For being so great he has done crap fr9m my fantasy league in several years
He doesn't get enough touches
Won me several weeks last year 🤷♂️

I did answer it, thoroughly
Despite being part of a cult, he’s an amazing leader and a huge asset to the saints!
Please don’t refer to the Church as a cult because it’s not. It’s ok if you disagree with someone’s beliefs, but there’s no reason to be insulting
Yep
Unnecessary swipe.
You think the Saints are a cult??🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TerryLParrish-be5od 😂
Best overall player in history!
You may be correct. Who would have thought Pocatello, Idaho would be home to one of the best athletes in the history of the NFL?
