Can anyone else recall a valuable QB or QB prospect who played ST other than to hold on FG/PAT?
Maybe your question misses the point. Sean Payton thinks out of the box. He doesn't need precedent. His special teams are super crappy. Hill is a big body and fast. He probably offered to play special teams just to make the active roster. After making a couple really good plays on special teams, Payton looked extremely pleased with himself. Hill did too. A win-win. Payton probably figured it's a chance to see what Hill is made of. He said if Hill got injured he'd have a year to rehab. Hill probably figured he had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I know my opinion of him changed. When he was with the Packers I pegged him as injury-prone because of his history.

I wouldn't say he's better than Hundley, but maybe Callahan. You never ever really know.
