[MertzJay26]

Chiefs just signed Taylor. He's well on his way to the rushing title.

He didn't exactly have the success his old man did. Career ends with a whimper.

Is McDonalds the next step?

Discuss.

I wouldn't have drafted him in the first place.

Probably not in fast food, but he surely left early and should get his degree and then use the contacts he could make to get a decent job. I am sorry to say that I have been convinced that many football players are only here to get into the league, not to be students or lifelong Gators.

Perhaps he'll be smart enough to come back and get the degree. Some do. Not enough.

Falcons sign Taylor

http://www.gatorsports.com/article/...cons-sign-ex-Gator-running-back-Kelvin-Taylor

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have signed the son of former Jacksonville Jaguars star Fred Taylor.

The team announced Tuesday that it has added running back Kelvin Taylor, who like his father played at the University of Florida. The younger Taylor was a sixth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2016 and spent part of last season on their practice squad.

He also played for the Seattle Seahawks, splitting time between their active roster and practice squad.

Coming off a run to the Super Bowl, the Falcons travel to Miami on Thursday night for their preseason opener.

Cannon Fodder!

Poor Kelvin. He has zero chance at making the team....again. Jay, you still have him penciled in for MVP this season? Maybe he can set a record by getting cut from all 32 teams in one offseason.

I understand the LDR dislike, but Kelvin? I don't get it

Best of luck Kelvin!

Should have stayed another year....

He is mad because Kelvin has 1000 times more NFL experience than his boy Jeff Demps.

Don't dislike him, just reporting the facts. I will say he had no business leaving early.

I don't know where you come up with this stuff. And to your moronic point, I'm pretty sure Demps actually got more NFL action than Taylor.

Demps never played a game. I dont think he made it past the first cut in any camp.

Such a terrible "RB". What a joke.

Demps played two years in the NFL. Had 3 catches for 21 yards for the Bucs. But who cares? Not sure what makes you think he's my "boy".

The fact that you love Muschamp more than Meyer says it all about you.

Not really sure if it would have helped much. I think even though he can block some his smaller size hurts him because they want the RBs that are top notch blockers when their running ability is iffy at the NFL level. It wouldn't surprise me if he makes a roster this year.

On the other hand last year you had Driskel who was terrible in camp and pre-season and got cut by the 49ers but Cincy decides to pick him up as their active 3rd QB anyway due to his size I guess.

he could have hit the weight room hard and he definitely would have had plenty blocking opportunities that year if he stayed. I cant knock him for seeing the writing on the wall with Nuss and Mac, probably why he left early imho.
