Favorite for starting job Winston seems like the odds-on favorite to win the starting quarterback job over Taysom Hill this summer, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports. Impact Even though the Saints turned to Hill as the starter last season when Drew Brees went down, that may have been at least partly a result of Hill having been part of the team's offensive system since 2017 while Winston had only been there for a matter of months. Now that Winston has considerably more experience in Sean Payton's scheme, it appears the 2015 No. 1 overall pick and true pocket passer is being viewed as the better long-term option for New Orleans to build around than the dual-threat Hill. However, the Saints aren't holding any on-field OTAs this year per Amie Just of NOLA.com, so there's not any tangible evidence that Winston is prepping for the top job. We should know more in late July when the Saints start training camp.
