Anyone still think KT is a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick?? Or more like an undrafted FA?
From the Combine:
Kelvin Taylor, running back, Florida: The early entrant was a bit of an unknown commodity heading into Indy, but his legacy (as Fred Taylor's son) fueled expectations of a strong performance this weekend. However, Taylor didn't deliver the goods with a poor 40 time (4.60) and a lackluster showing in drills (too many dropped passes), leading to more questions about his fit as a feature back.
Taylor only managed 15 bench presses (4th fewest among RBs), a 32.0 inch vertical (5 worst among RBs), and 113.0 broad jump (4th lowest).
All I heard was his performance, or lack there of, was due to poor O-Line and if he had an NFL O-Line he'd be magical. Right? Isn't that what you understood as well?
Kelvin ran for 1000+ behind a sh!tty O line. Anybody that thinks he isn't a real RB, is dumb as ****
Define real running back..... He was behind four guys playing in the NFL in 2014... he will be drafted mid round and probably have approximately 5 years career. Does that not make him a "real" running back?
No doubt that his 2014 season was subpar. He was immensely better last year.
He was better than last year, because he was more decisive. But last year being his best year, still makes him more than a mid round pick in this draft with probably a 5 year career. Nothing is wrong with that, but he isn't a first or early second day pick some people are making him out to be.
I don't think he will be a top draft pick, but he could end up having a very good NFL career. Particularly, because he gets better late in games. Which means he can really break the back of the defense. His output could be equal or better than Matt Jones.
I've never seen a RB bench press while on the field... Also... haven't seen him jump from standing still...
