It didn’t take long for former Saints tight end Josh Hill to find a new team. And it just so happens he’ll be playing for the same coach as he signed with the Detroit Lions Saturday.
The Lions are coached by former Saints assistant Dan Campbell who coached tight ends in New Orleans the past five seasons before being hired as the head coach in Detroit.
The Saints released Hill earlier months as they worked to get under the NFL’s salary cap.
