The New Orleans Saints have a unique player in Taysom Hill. No player truly owns a role quit like he does for the black and gold.
Hill has become a fan favorite for good reason. He scores touchdowns, runs over defenders, and can sling a pass downfield here and there when needed. Oh yeah, he makes special teams tackles as well.
Taysom Hill has become one of my all time favorite Saints. In his heart he wants to be a QB, but at 33 years old he is just gonna do what he is asked to do to help the team. pic.twitter.com/fc8wwWO0W2

Hill has been working out at multiple spots at practice so far, including fullback and tight end. I discussed his potential FB value here.

Hill won't be on the Saints QB depth chart in 2024 most likely, but you can expect a full utility role once again.
The Saints plan to use Hill in special spots, just like they have for the past handful of seasons. Dennis Allen warned the NFL in a press conference this week, notioning that his QB run plays are not going away either under new OC Klint Kubiak.
Basically, fans will not have to worry about a major decrease in usage of Hill on offense in 2024. That is exciting for them and the team.
