Taysom Hill and the Saints saw their playoff hopes dashed in a heartbreaking 19-17 elimination loss to the Falcons in Week 18, where the 36-year-old utility man exited early with a shoulder injury after limited snaps, finishing the 2025 campaign with meager stats of 52 carries for 114 rushing yards, one TD, 11 receptions for 91 yards, and just 2-of-6 passing for 57 yards over 13 games. Ranked #62 in HeyTC AI Rankings, Hill's production plummeted amid a 6-11 regular season marred by his prior ACL rehab and nagging ailments, though he flashed versatility with a rare passing TD earlier. As a free agent this offseason, Hill expressed deep love for New Orleans—"I wouldn't want to play somewhere else"—while Saints GM hints at a potential return if the price fits, fueling fan debates on whether the fan-favorite gadget player gets one more run with Kellen Moore's squad.
