For the 2023 season, the NFL will enforce a new regulation regarding quarterbacks. There's a chance the New Orleans Saints can utilize it to their advantage.
After the QB fiasco that was the 2023 NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks.
NFL owners passed a rule allowing clubs to deploy a third quarterback in case of emergency.
The third quarterback is a backup in case the starting quarterback and backup quarterback both get hurt or kicked out of the game.
The third quarterback is a backup in case the starting quarterback and backup quarterback both get hurt or kicked out of the game.
The Saints have a man in Taysom Hill who can play both tight end and quarterback.
Despite having spent all of training camp and the preseason designated as a tight end, Hill will start the season as New Orleans' starting quarterback.
The Saints could bring an extra player into the game if they designated Hill as their starting quarterback.
Despite his official starting position, Hill is flexible in the lineup.
In the event that both Hill and starting quarterback Derek Carr are out, Jameis Winston could step in as the team's backup quarterback.
