Jay Glazer: Taysom Hill next in line for Saints
New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill will be "the guy" after Drew Brees retires, according to Jay Glazer on The Athletic.
"No smokescreen, he’s the guy," Glazer stated. "Sean Payton loves him but it’s not just him, the whole team loves him, not just Sean Payton ... I think Sean was always hoping to unleash him on the league without anyone seeing him before but now we’ve seen it with Lamar Jackson. He’s a bigger Lamar Jackson." Payton's desire to hide Hill would help explain why he only attempted one pass while Brees was hurt last season. However, it remains odd that the organization seems steadfast on their commitment to someone with 13 career pass attempts who turns 30 before the season starts. Glazer's claim indicates that the Saints don't view Jameis Winston as a long-term option.
numberFire's models project Hill for 25.2 carries, 141.7 rushing yards, 20.9 catches, 219.9 receiving yards, and 3.0 touchdowns in 2020.
