Perhaps a Taysom Hill 2.0 situation with the New Orleans Saints’ final pick of the 2020 NFL Draft used on Mississippi State Quarterback Tommy Stevens.

- and perhaps a taysom hill 2.0 - situation, with the new orleans- saints' final pick of the 20-20- n-f-l draft... used on- mississippi state - quarterback tommy stevens.- the former penn state transfer- played just one season, in- starkville... throwing for more- than 11-hundred yards - and 11 touchdowns... across nin- starts.

- and after subtracting yards los- on sacks... stevens - also rushed for close to 500- yards and four scores... at mor- than seven ticks per carry.

- at 6'5", 237 pounds... stevens was slated to workout as a- tight end and fullback, at his- pro day... before it got- canceled.

- he was clocked at 4.49 seconds,- in the 40-yard dash... and even- - - - caught 14 passes... during his- time at penn state.

- sounds like a perfect fit... in- nola.

- - "saints fans, how you doing?

This is tommy - stevens.

Quarterback for- mississippi state.

Just wanted- to let you guys know i'm so - thankful to be a saint.

Couldn'- be more excited.

What a - wonderful opportunity.- this is a dream come true.

I- can't wait to new orleans and - get to work.

Who dat!"

- - - the saints traded back into the- 7th round of the draft, to get- stevens... by giving up their - - - - 6th-round selection, in 20- - 21... to the houston texans.- who dat...- - just to recap... that was one o- three draft day trades for the- new olreans saints, this year..- capping off their fourth- and final pick... with mr.- stevens.- the black and gold also pulled- off a pair of deals, on day 2..- to acquire wisconsin linebacker- zack baun... and- dayton tight end adam trautman.- - - - michigan center cesar ruiz went- 24th overall... in the first- round.- since the draft... new orleans- has signed 11 un-drafted free -
