The New Orleans Saints and their fans got great news on Tuesday. They didn't make a transaction. Nothing of that nature. Instead, it involves Taysom Hill. The utility weapon for the Saints is back to his old tricks once again. New Orleans is deploying him in a multitude of ways on offense, and that's the best case scenario for he and the team, too. 

Hill spent some time running the offense in 7-on-7 drills, although Derek Carr will be the starting QB. Hill will get some snaps there once again – it seems. He provides a unique threat at the position, and the Saints should use that effect against defenses. 

Simply put, though, Hill was "everywhere" for New Orleans today at minicamp. They didn't hold back on his versatility, and they shouldn't during the season, either.

Hill also ran routes. He'll see time out of the backfield and at tight end for the Saints once again this year. Taysom got some special teams work in today as well. Head coach Dennis Allen described his role very well after practice.
