After a historic day for the 34-year-old gadget player, Taysom Hill was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
The New Orleans Saints defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-14 in large part due to Hill’s 138 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the day. He also had 50 receiving yards, 18 passing yards, 42 kick return yards, an interception thrown, and a fumble lost. He became the first non-running back in NFL history with 125+ rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a game.
This is the third honor of Hill’s career and second Offensive Player of the Week honor, as he previously was named Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 14 in the 2018 season and won Offensive Player of the Week in Week 5 of the 2022 season.
Hill becomes the fourth former BYU player to earn Offensive Player of the Week multiple times, joining Hall of Famer Steve Young, Jim McMahon, and Marc Wilson.
