I guess it depends on who you listen to. This guy is a stud and will be a major playmaker in someone's secondary and it should be the Skins!
Miami's Taylor Impresses At Workout
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Taylor decided to leave Miami after a junior season in which he earned Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors with 77 tackles and a school-record 10 interceptions.
With his rare combination of size, speed and skill, Taylor soared immediately toward the top of several NFL teams' draft boards. ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper ranks Taylor as the second-best player in the draft, behind Pittsburgh receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
Taylor's workout Saturday was limited because of what he called a ``tweaked'' right hamstring, but those on hand walked away impressed with what they saw.
``He was just fine out there,'' Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Dave Campo said. ``He certainly didn't hurt himself at all with the workout. He's a very smooth athlete - and big. He's a very impressive football player.''
``I think he's a magnificent quarterback of a team,'' Arizona Cardinals coach and general manager Dennis Green said. ``I think at free safety, he'll be one of the best in the league. He can get up and down the sideline. He'll intercept a lot passes. He's a ferocious hitter. He has the whole package.''
