Taysom Hill/Jameis Winston

The last player(s) that you have to be thankful. When Drew Brees went down with his injury, Jameis Winston was the one who took over for him in-game and was able to lead the Saints to a victory in the game he got injured.

After that, Taysom Hill was the quarterback who Payton chose to start the next game. Hill exceeded expectations despite a pair of fumbles in the process. His arm looked outstanding and his legs didn’t fail him starting either.

Hill will be the one, most likely, going forward who will continue to take over for Brees until he comes off of injured reserve. Not every team has the opportunity to have not one but two tremendous backup quarterbacks on their team, the black and gold should be very thankful.
