Taysom Hill is a free agent and the Denver Broncos were called the frontrunners to sign him. Now, the report could be confirmed by the Mile-High City team, reuniting the Swiss-army player with head coach Sean Payton.
Per Steve Wyche of NFL Network, the Broncos “will explore bringing in free agent Taysom Hill.” It was Sean Payton the one who used and trusted Taysom Hill as a multi-positional player.
Also, given how the season ended for Bo Nix, with a devastating ankle injury, having Hill to take some of the RPOs and short-yardage design runs could tempt Payton to bring him to the team.
Taysom Hill can help anywhere on offense
While many label him as a tight end, the fact is Hill can also play as a quarterback, full back, and running back. He also has some great presence on special teams, blocking kicks or even returning kicks.

Taysom Hill still brings some concerns
Hill is already 35 years old, so his athleticism might be on the decline. That could be a bit of a concern as he relies heavily on his athletic prowess to make plays and be a Swiss-army knife.
Also, Hill has suffered gruesome injuries in recent years, sidelining him for a bit. That, paired with his age, could sway the Broncos away from giving him too many looks, but if someone knows how to use Hill, it’s Sean Payton.
