Whenever I see that word, I remind myself of a conversation I had with a classmate, in our final year at high school.
We were talking about the Championship Manager PC game. My friend mentioned a player (I cannot recall who!) he always tried to bring to whichever club he managed. I surmise he was in charge of.
'He's versatile,' my friend stated. He then stopped. 'Do you know what versatile means?' he asked.
'Of course I do,' I uttered with astonishment. Seeing as I remember that conversation all those years later, you can obviously tell how I insulted I was at the question.
I came across my own versatile player as an adult. Not for football. Obviously not for Championship Manager, either.
Taysom Hill is a versatile player in American football. His 'Swiss Army Knife' style has performed well for me whenever I've picked him on my fantasy football teams whether they were regular or DFS.
Whenever he's in the fantasy draft, Hill is assigned as a tight end. That's pretty decent for someone who can feature in quarterback and running back plays.
If that fantasy football league I play in returns for 2026 (it's not looking good), there's a good chance I'll look out for Hill again. However, it won't be as a member of the New Orleans Saints.
Hill, and the Saints, announced yesterday that he will not return to the team. The player wrote a really nice letter to the city of New Orleans. The Saints, on the other hand, sent Hill off with a touching video tribute.
Selfishly, I hope this isn't it. I'd like Taysom Hill on my next fantasy team. Because he's versatile.
