Ian Rapoport: Saints to make a decision on Taysom Hill; hard to imagine Hill returning [T.Hill is turning 35 w/ 18M cap hit & ACL recovery]

Milroe is a lot like Hurts coming out of college. It would not surprise me if Kellen decided to draft him and find out.
Savion is one of my favorite WRs in this class. I haven't seen too much on him but what I have seen gives me Michael Thomas vibes... but bigger.

I would almost think the "Taysom-like" player needs to be a high level starting QB in college. Maybe just not high level enough to get drafted high as a QB.
Remember, putting Taysom under center meant taking HOF QB Drew Brees off the field for that play. THAT is unthinkable. Every single play in the NFL is crucial. Taysom had to be a legit threat to throw it and he was. (just not the deep ball by any means).

Saints drafted a QB Tommy Stevens in the 7th round of the 2020 draft. At the time I remember talk of him having those traits. He ended up being almost a
"run-only" QB in the Canadian League. So that makes me think he didn't have anywhere near an NFL arm to go with the wheels. He's a big dude though.

His stats show what I'm talking about. If you can't throw in Canada, you're gonna have a hard time throwing in the league.

Maybe there's another college QB out there who eventually follows in Taysom's footsteps, but I actually kind of doubt it.
It's a copy-cat league when something new is proven to work, and no team has actually tried to copy-cat the Taysom role.
That says a LOT.
I think Riley Leonard might be that guy this year. 6’ 4” around 220lbs. 21 passing TDs and 17 rushing TDs this year. Will probably be there in the 7th.
