How physically gifted are the former BYU quarterbacks? The NFL world got a first-hand glimpse during Sunday’s Week 4 action

Two former BYU quarterbacks captured the attention of the NFL on Sunday with a display of their physical skills.

Zach Wilson showcased the arm strength that made him the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft. As for Taysom Hill, he demonstrated the bruising running ability that fans have grown accustomed to, yet still appreciate.


Wilson’s long-distance throw for a touchdown

The situation: Wilson and the New York Jets were tied 17-all with the Tennessee Titans just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. New York had rallied from down 9-0 and scored a touchdown on its previous drive to tie the score. The Jets faced a 1st-and-10 from their own 47.

The play: Wilson faked the handoff, then rolled right out of the pocket and headed toward the sideline. With a few seconds to set up, Wilson motioned to a teammate and set to throw, launching a pass from the New York 40-yard line down to receiver Corey Davis, who makes the catch in double coverage at the Tennessee goal line, falling into the end zone for the go-ahead score.

According to NextGen Stats, the 53-yard touchdown traveled 56.8 yards in the air and was the longest completion by a Jets quarterback over the past five seasons. Wilson had two 50-plus yard passes in the game, throwing 54 yards to Keelan Cole in the third quarter on a field-goal scoring drive.

Wilson’s stat line: He completed 21 of 34 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in helping the Jets beat the Titans 27-24 in overtime, Wilson’s first win as a pro. Wilson converted three third downs on New York’s overtime drive — including a 29-yard pass on a third-and-2 — that ended with the game-winning field goal.

“Talk about young kids, because that’s what they are, getting the ball rolling,” first-year Jets coach Robert Saleh said. “Their confidence starts to snowball. Today he showed everything what we see in practice. The kid was outstanding. He’s got resolve and he’s a playmaker.”

Quotable: “He was at his best in the second half and overtime, completing 14-of-22 passes for 232 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions – good for a passer rating of 129.4. He threw both touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and came within one yard of another touchdown before settling for a field goal in overtime.

“It was wild — nothing at all like the ‘boring’ football that Saleh said last week would be the key to Wilson’s improvement.

“‘This,’ said Davis, ‘was not boring at all.’”

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (7) carries for a touchdown against New York Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (22) in the second half of an NFL football game in New Orleans, Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021.

Taysom Hill’s tackle-breaking touchdown run

The situation: With New Orleans and the New York Giants tied at 7-all early in the third quarter, Hill, the Saints’ do-everything backup quarterback lined up in shotgun formation on a 2nd-and-1 at the Giants 8.

The play: Hill ran right on the designed keeper behind a pair of blockers, then broke his first tackle attempt at the 5 and kept his legs churning, pushing another defender to the ground. He sprinted out of a pile, broke two more tackles near the 3-yard line, then got spun around at the 1-yard line before fending off one more tackle attempt from Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams and scoring on an impressive feat of strength.

Hill’s stat line: Hill later added a second touchdown run — another 8-yarder in the fourth — though the Saints gave up a 21-10 lead in an eventual 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He had a busy day playing in a variety of positions offensively, with six carries for 28 yards and two receptions for 26 yards, while also completing 2 of 3 passes for nine yards and one interception. Hill played 34 offensive snaps, half of the team’s offensive snaps in the game.

“It’s a holistic offense. He comes in and brings a certain amount of energy,” Saints’ starting quarterback Jameis Winston said of what Hill contributes offensively. “We have been doing that all year. We just have to continue to get better with our identity and we will.”

Quotable: “How strong is he? He needed eight yards to get a touchdown against the New York Giants. Between him and the end zone was the entire Giants defense. One man, holding one ball, against a wall of enormous men.

“No problem.

“… Who knew an eight-yard run could be so exciting?”
