Taysom Hill rips off a 47-yard kickoff return, Van Noy gets interception



Taysom Hill is no longer a gimmick/gadget player for the New Orleans Saints. He's a bona fide weapon. Kyle Van Noy had a good game in a loss for the Patriots. These two carried the BYU flag in the NFL this week.

Kyle Van Noy, New England Patriots (1-1), L Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20

Van Noy tied for a team high with six tackles. He also got credit for a pass defended when he intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter. Van Noy played 64 downs on defense (90%) and seven (25%) on special teams.

Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints (1-1), W Cleveland Browns 21-18

Hill had a 47-yard kickoff return. He fielded the kick seven yards deep in the end zone, but still brought it out. If not for a shoestring tackle, all he had to do was beat the kicker for a touchdown. Hill saw action on 23 special teams plays (85%).
