Taysom Hill Will Start at QB for the Saints

Taysom Hill has done a lot of things on a football field.  He has never started a game at quarterback in the NFL.

That's going to happen this weekend against the Falcons.  The Saints will start Hill for the injured Drew Brees over fellow backup quarterback Jameis Winston.

Winston, who was expected by many to get the start, will not be part of the offense on Sunday.

Saints’ QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday vs. the Falcons, per source. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will be the backup.

The surprising news caused ESPN's fantasy football app to crash.  Hill was given a lot of money this off-season for the special set of skills he possesses.

New Orleans is going to find out if playing quarterback in the NFL for an entire game is in his toolbox.  Jameis just threw a pick-six with the Saints starting quarterback job, incredible.
