His 2024 campaign ended prematurely in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/saints-news-new-orleans-makes-taysom-hill-injury-move-0-4-start">Week 12 when he tore his ACL</a> along with four other ligaments in his posterolateral corner.

He averaged 7.1 yards per rush and scored six total touchdowns in eight games.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Saints activated TEs Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau and each is expected to play Sunday vs. the Giants. <a href="https://t.co/fqWJsUatxM">pic.twitter.com/fqWJsUatxM</a></p><p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1974565681195786696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau return as Saints seek first win against Giants in Week 5</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Taysom-Hill-of-the-Saints.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A versatile offensive weapon for New Orleans, Hill has contributed across multiple roles throughout his career, including quarterback, tight end, and special teams. His return gives the Saints an experienced playmaker capable of impacting both their ground and passing attacks.</p><p>Moreau, 28, also returns from a torn ACL suffered in the final game of the 2024 season.

He flashed major potential in his NFL debut with the Indianapolis Colts, showing promise that his talents will translate at the professional level. Leading up to the Week 2 contest against the Denver Broncos, the opposing defensive coordinator shared which player Warren reminds him of.</p><p>Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph reportedly informed head coach Sean Payton that Warren <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1966241497608761721" rel="noopener">reminds him of</a> New Orleans Saints’ utility man Tayson Hill, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Denver is seemingly taking note of what type of versatility Warren brings to the table for the Colts.</p><p>“Vance Joseph told Sean Payton that Tyler Warren has some Taysom Hill to him.”</p><p>Interestingly enough, Sean Payton coached Taysom Hill during his time as the Saints’ head coach. Hill, who is 35 years old, has played as a tight end, quarterback, running back, and wide receiver for the franchise. Hill is currently out after sustaining an ACL tear in December, and his return date is unclear. In college, Warren lined up at tight end and wide receiver. He even played a snap or two as a center on some trick plays for the Nittany Lions.</p><p>Tyler Warren played everywhere at Penn State, as he lined up in multiple positions for the Nittany Lions during his five years with the program. We saw <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/reasons-why-daniel-jones-week-1-explosion-wasnt-fluke">some of that versatility in the Colts’ 33-8 Week 1 win</a> over the Miami Dolphins after the 23-year-old rookie finished with seven receptions for 76 yards off nine targets.</p><p>If the Broncos view Warren as a Taysom Hill-type player, then the defense likely isn’t taking him lightly. Especially considering he was one of the more involved players in the passing game for the Colts in the season opener. Make sure to tune into the Broncos-Colts game on Sunday, September 14.

But the Swiss-Army knife type <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/saints-news-taysom-hill-confirmed-out-for-season-knee-injury">Hill is dealing with his lingering ACL injury from 2024</a>. So the Saints have added his possible replacement — especially before Week 1.</p><p>Tommy Mellott is joining New Orleans, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network Monday. Mellott <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1962632854791131455" rel="noopener">is joining the practice squad to start</a>. But he’s already playing for his second NFL team after hearing his name called during April’s NFL Draft.</p><p>“Drafted in the sixth round by the Las Vegas Raiders, Mellott was waived last week after practicing at receiver in camp. Now, the versatile playmaker heads to the home of Taysom Hill,” Pelissero posted on X (formerly Twitter). </p><p>The day three choice could now be inserted as the “Hill” for Kellen Moore ahead of Sunday’s opener.</p><h2><b>Saints’ new potential ‘Taysom Hill’ brings own versatility </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Hill-at-practice.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Mellott entered the league as a Football Bowl Subdivision (FCS) star out of Montana State.</p><p>He rose as a beloved talent in Bozeman. He claimed 33 total victories (<a href="https://msubobcats.com/sports/football/roster/tommy-mellott/6500" rel="noopener">second most in school history</a>). Plus became the school’s first-ever Walter Payton Award winner — which honors the best player at the FCS level.</p><p>Mellott went off in the Bobcats offense — tallying 5,810 passing yards with 3,523 rushing. He combined for 96 total touchdowns running and throwing. <a href="https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tommy-mellott/32004d45-4c42-1666-4887-888399e883b8" rel="noopener">The conversation pre-draft centered on</a> Mellott giving another position to try.</p><p>“There have been quarterback-to-receiver conversions in the NFL before and Mellott might be the next in line. He’s been a winner and an extremely productive dual-threat quarterback, but he doesn’t have the size or arm talent needed to continue at that position in the NFL,” wrote NFL Network draft analyst Lance Zierlein.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-tom-brady-selects-college-qb-julian-edelman-comp">Tom Brady witnessed a lot of Julian Edelman in scouting Mellott</a>. The Raiders <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-tommy-mellott-position-change">then plugged Mellott at wide receiver</a>.</p><p>But Mellott eventually never landed on the final 53-man roster. He now gets a chance to make himself ready for the Arizona Cardinals. Especially if Hill isn’t ready to go.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While some have connected Milroe’s athleticism to a Taysom Hill-like role in the NFL, head coach Mike Macdonald does not like that comparison.</p><p>Macdonald said comparing Milroe to Hill is not “fair” to his new quarterback’s skill set in his post-Day Two presser. The 37-year-old head coach complemented Hill’s role with the New Orleans Saints, but said Milroe will be <a href="https://x.com/Seahawks/status/1915975269908943344" rel="noopener">viewed solely as a quarterback</a>.</p><p>“I don’t think it’s fair to say Taysom Hill,” Macdonald said. “Taysom is a great player, but the way [the Saints] used him is like as a tight end, fullback, hybrid role. Jalen’s a quarterback through and through. He’s gonna be trained to play quarterback for us, and when he’s in there, he’s gonna be playing quarterback. But the athleticism is going to come to life when he’s on the field.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Watch live as Mike Macdonald and John Schneider recap day two the NFL Draft<br> <a href="https://t.co/tECQHUT1M1">https://t.co/tECQHUT1M1</a></p><p>— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) <a href="https://twitter.com/Seahawks/status/1915975269908943344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Seahawks made Milroe the fourth quarterback taken in the draft, following Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough. The Cleveland Browns took Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel at No. 94, two picks after Milroe. The moves notably left Shedeur Sanders on the board, whom many viewed as a top-five pick heading into round one.</p><p>Milroe was also the Seahawks’ fourth pick of the draft. Seattle started the process with guard Gray Zabel in the first round before taking safety Nick Emmanwori and tight end Elijah Arroyo in round two.</p><h2><b>Jalen Milroe joins Seahawks’ quarterback room</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Jalen-Milroe_a7f516.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Milroe joins the Seahawks’ quarterback room as the fourth addition to the group. After trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/seahawks-news-seattle-sam-darnold-agree-massive-100-million-contract">Seattle signed Sam Darnold</a> and Drew Lock in free agency to join Sam Howell.</p><p>Darnold’s $100 million contract solidifies him as the starter, leaving Lock, Milroe and Howell to battle for the backup job. Howell is the only returning quarterback after backing up Smith in 2024. However, Lock returns to the team after a one-year stint with the New York Giants, but has never played for Macdonald.</p><p>Of the quarterbacks on the roster, Milroe is easily the most athletic. While his accuracy and pocket presence could use some development, his speed and strength provide an additional element to the offense that none of the three veterans can. Even if he fails to win the backup job, Milroe could find himself on the field in short-yardage and goal-line packages.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
