Taysom Hill is getting up there.

It can still be a bit surprising to learn that the New Orleans Saints' QB/TE/do-everything guy is 35 years old. But that he is, and his time in the NFL is likely running short, with fans starting to wonder about his retirement.

One post on social media by the Saints really got fans riled up.

Hill's football career was delayed in part by his mission trip for the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He has played in nine NFL seasons since being undrafted out of BYU.

Hill is the first player in NFL history with at least 1,000 passing yards, rushing yards and receiving yards in his NFL career.

The Saints have also been known to use Hill in a variety of special teams roles.

There has never been another NFL player like Hill. If this is soon it, it's been a fun ride.
