The NFL Draft consumes pretty much all the football attention this time of year.

That makes it easy to forget that such a fascinating player like Taysom Hill is a free agent after spending his whole career with the New Orleans Saints.

What's next for Hill? He'd probably like to know that.

The reality is that news is quiet on the Hill front, but occasionally a fan will take to social media and wonder what's next.

The do-everything Hill might want to return to the Saints, but it's not clear if they'd want him.

He's been oft-linked to the Denver Broncos, where his old friend Sean Payton is now the head coach.

Retirement could be on the cards, too. Hill will turn 36 years old in August.

There's really no precedent for a player like Hill, so it's hard to know how he might age.

In his career, he has run for 2,551 yards, received 1,034 yards and thrown for 2,426 yards. He's the first player in the Super Bowl era to clear 1,000 in all three.
